When you need this
Use this feature when you want to ensure visitors enter a correct phone numberāso you donāt waste time tracking down a driver who missed a call-off message because the SMS was sent to the wrong number.
Main idea
During registration, the driver is asked to enter a code to verify his phone number.
Registrations will never be blocked, so visitors can proceed even without phone verification. As a user, you can check in Peripass whether the phone number was verified during registration. If needed, you can set up automation to trigger only when the number hasnāt been verified.
Known limitations
The phone verification service is only available on the Mobile Driver Portal.
If registration takes place at a physical kiosk, phone number verification will not be performedāeven if the feature is enabled.
More information
š Phone Number Update & Verification Status
If a phone number that was verified during registration is later updatedāeither manually or via the APIāits verification status will be automatically reset to "Phone number not verified".
āļø Automation Condition: Phone Verification Status
You can adjust your automation logic based on whether a userās phone number has been verified.
Use the condition: āVisitorās phone number verification statusā.
Delayed Option to Skip Phone Verification
To discourage users from bypassing phone verification, the option to continue without a verified phone number is only available after 30 seconds.
Preventing Excess Transaction Costs
To avoid unnecessary costs when users repeatedly request verification codes, several safeguards are implemented:
ā± Resend Timing Control
The "Resend code" option becomes available 30 seconds after the first code was sent.
It can only be used at 30-second intervals.
š Registration Request Limit
Users can request a new code a maximum of six times per registration.
š Code Validity Window
Each new request generates a unique code valid for 5 minutes.
If multiple codes are requested, any code within its 5-minute validity can be used to complete verification.
How to set up
Configuration > Profiles > Edit > Linked fields tab > Edit linked field (Phone Number)
Set āVerify phone numberā to yes.
Important: Enabling this configuration will trigger a warning message informing users that transaction fees will be incurred to cover the cost of the activated service.
