Overview

Creates a new consent set during user onboarding using the onboardingId from the registration flow. This endpoint is typically called after personal details submission and before address submission during the registration flow.

Use the onboardingId returned from email verification (POST /v1/auth/register/email/verify) - do NOT generate a new ID. This links the consent to the user’s registration session.

Use Cases

Mobile App Registration

Collect consent during mobile app onboarding flows

Web Registration

Capture consent on web registration forms

KYC Processes

Record consent during identity verification

Pre-Registration Consent

Collect consent before user account creation

400 Bad Request - Missing Required Consents

{
  "error": "Validation error",
  "details": [
    "Missing required consent: termsAndPrivacy for policy type: global"
  ]
}

Cause: Not all required consents for the policy type are present. Required Consents:

US Policy: All 5 types (including eSignAct for E-Sign Act compliance)
Global Policy: 4 types (excludes eSignAct)

{
  "error": "Validation error",
  "details": [
    "Invalid consentType: 'pushNotifications'. Must be one of: eSignAct, termsAndPrivacy, marketingNotifications, smsNotifications, emailNotifications"
  ]
}

Cause: Using an unsupported consent type.

409 Conflict - Duplicate Onboarding ID

{
  "error": "Conflict",
  "details": [
    "Consent set with onboardingId 'onboarding_abc123' already exists"
  ]
}

Cause: The onboardingId has already been used. Solution: Generate a new unique onboardingId and retry.

498 Invalid Client Key

{
  "error": "Invalid client key",
  "details": [
    "The provided x-client-key is invalid or expired"
  ]
}

Cause: Invalid or expired API credentials.

499 Missing Client Key

{
  "error": "Missing client key",
  "details": [
    "x-client-key header is required for all requests"
  ]
}

Cause: Missing x-client-key header.

Validation Rules

Onboarding ID Requirements

Must be the onboardingId from registration email verification
Do NOT generate a new ID - use the ID from POST /v1/auth/register/email/verify
Format: UUID string (e.g., 100a99cf-f4d3-4fa1-9be9-2e9828b20ebb)

// ✅ Correct: Use onboardingId from registration
const { onboardingId } = await verifyEmail(email, code);
await createConsent(onboardingId, consents);

// ❌ Wrong: Do not generate new ID
// const onboardingId = `onboarding_${uuid()}`;

Policy Type Requirements

US Policy requires all 5 consent types (E-Sign Act compliance):

eSignAct (required for E-Sign Act compliance)
termsAndPrivacy
marketingNotifications
smsNotifications
emailNotifications

Global Policy requires 4 consent types (excludes eSignAct):

termsAndPrivacy
marketingNotifications
smsNotifications
emailNotifications

Metadata Best Practices

Include these fields for comprehensive audit trails:

metadata: {
  ipAddress: req.ip,
  userAgent: req.headers['user-agent'],
  timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
  clientId: 'web-app-v1.2.0',
  sessionId: req.session.id,
  privacyPolicyVersion: 'v2.1',
  termsVersion: 'v3.0'
}

All values must be JSON-serializable (no functions, circular references, or undefined).
