Updated the left-hand navigation of the Plaid Dashboard for improved ease of use

By Steven Van ·

The September 24 update also adds a connection_availability field, Sandbox date rolling, and new Link SDK releases for iOS, Android and React Native.

The left-hand navigation in the Plaid Dashboard has been redesigned for easier use. The September 24 changelog also covers several API and SDK changes.

  • The Institution object now includes a connection_availability field, returned as NOT_SUPPORTED when Plaid does not support new connections to an institution (only on /institutions/get_by_id responses), or SUPPORTED otherwise.
  • The custom Sandbox user configuration object gained an optional roll_dates_forward field. When set to true, the most recent transaction activity date is always the current date when the Item is created, with other transaction activity rolled forward to match.
  • For Link: iOS SDK v7.1.2 fixes a bug where onLoad wasn't called for Identity Verification sessions; v7.2.0 fixes security issues, adds automatic session handoff for Embedded Link, and delivers the Embedded Link start-failure onExit callback on the main thread (Safari Web Inspector can no longer attach to production Link sessions on iOS, and WebView inspection is now limited to Sandbox); v6.5.2 adds security improvements. Android SDK v6.2.2 fixes a static-initialization crash in LinkAccountVerificationStatus and other public sealed classes when an activity is restored after the app's process was killed, fires OnLoadCallback for sessions whose WebView isn't eager-started, and adds security improvements; v5.5.5 fixes the same crash and adds security improvements. React Native SDK v13.2.0 updates to Android SDK v6.2.1 and iOS SDK v7.1.2, and v13.3.0 updates to Android SDK v6.2.2 and iOS SDK v7.2.0.
  • For Plaid Check Consumer Report: the CRA_REPORT_UPDATED webhook now includes a client_user_id field.
  • For Identity Verification: /identity_verification/create gained an optional language parameter to set the starting language for a session, and sessions can now use rule groups instead of a Trust Index threshold for risk-based escalation. Rule groups run after Data Source Verification and Documentary Verification, and a session meeting any rule group's conditions is escalated to the next verification step.
