In the aggregator docs it says I'll need:
A unique customer identifier (token) that will be inserted into the Q2 DB enrolls/signs up/engages with your integration inside their digital banking session
I'm curious if self.online_user.user_id is sufficient to use as key value in here or whats the reasoning behind generating a uuid? Can the same user id exist in multiple different FI's?
await rlu.add_update(customer_id=None, user_id=self.online_user.user_id, key_name=‘abc_inc_account_integration’, key_value=uuid)
With that being said, is there any reason to store that value on our end if we can always do the reverse lookup?
Hi Draden,
The purpose of generating a uuid is to have a unique identifier for each user across all FIs in your system that can also be used to identify users in Q2. User IDs are typically replicated across multiple financial institutions. If you currently have a way of uniquely identifying your users, that can be used as the token.
