Business verification

Creditsafe in a decision flow.

3 Creditsafe operations a decision flow can call directly, with the credentials your own contract issued. The response is data the rest of the flow reads, branches on, and keeps in the trace.

Who they are

Company credit reports and ownership data, globally.

Creditsafe is a business credit bureau. It publishes credit reports, scores, limits and ownership structures for companies across most trading countries, assembled from registry filings, payment data and its own analytics. Its Connect API is the programmatic route into the same reports its web product serves.

What a flow can call

3 operations, each one a step you can place on the canvas.

  1. GET/companies

    Search companies

    Searches Creditsafe's global company database. Add countries=US or countries=BR and at least a registration number, tax number, or a precise name-plus-address query on the Connection node to avoid ambiguous matches.

  2. GET/companies/$data.creditsafe_connect_id

    Get a company credit report

    Returns a company report for a Connect ID found by Search companies.

  3. GET/companies/schema/$data.creditsafe_country_code

    Get a country report schema

    Retrieves the available report schema for a two-letter country code, such as US or BR.

Where it sits in the decision

Business verification calls have a natural place in a flow.

Company checks answer whether the entity applying exists, who controls it, and whether its filings support the application. They usually run early: if the company cannot be verified, most of what follows is moot, and the flow can decline or refer before spending on anything else.

Whatever Creditsafe returns is part of the run, so it is part of the record. When someone asks months later why an applicant was declined, the answer cites what came back at the time rather than re-fetching from a service whose answer has since changed.

  • 01Add Creditsafe as a connection authenticating with a token exchange.
  • 02Creditsafe runs a separate sandbox host, so a Sandbox flow can exercise the real call without touching production.
  • 03Place a Connection node and pick an operation — “Search companies” is usually the first one a flow needs.
  • 04Map the response into the fields your rules read, then test the whole path before it carries live traffic.

Common questions

Using Creditsafe in a flow.

How do I connect Creditsafe to a decision flow?

Add Creditsafe as a connection in your workspace authenticating with a token exchange, with the credentials your own contract issued — ArboRule calls the provider as you, and never holds a contract on your behalf. Once the connection exists, any flow in the workspace can place a Connection node and choose one of its operations. The credentials live on the connection, not in the flow, so a policy owner can use Creditsafe in a decision without ever seeing the secret.

Can I test Creditsafe without touching production?

Yes. Creditsafe runs a separate sandbox host, so a flow executing in Sandbox can make the real call against test credentials and you can read the actual response shape in the trace before anything reaches a customer. The flow does not change when it graduates — only which credentials answer.

What can a flow call on Creditsafe?

3 operations: “Search companies”, “Get a company credit report”, “Get a country report schema”. Each one is a step you place on the canvas and map into the fields your rules read, and most flows start with “Search companies”. The list comes from the same manifest the engine uses to make the call, so this page cannot describe an operation the product does not have.

Where in a decision should Creditsafe be called?

Company checks answer whether the entity applying exists, who controls it, and whether its filings support the application. They usually run early: if the company cannot be verified, most of what follows is moot, and the flow can decline or refer before spending on anything else.
