​
on_error
string | null

By default, Vital Link Widget input forms for password and email providers have in-built error handling.

Specifying on_error=redirect disables this Vital Link Widget UI behaviour — it would instead redirect to your redirect_url, with Link Error parameters injected.

This has no effect on OAuth providers — they always redirect to your redirect_url. This also has no effect on programmatic Vital Link API usage.

Allowed value: "redirect"
​
on_close
string | null

By default, Vital Link Widget closes the window or tab when the user taps the Close button.

Specifying on_close=redirect would change the Close button behaviour to redirect to your redirect_url with the user_cancelled error specified.

This has no effect on programmatic Vital Link API usage.

Allowed value: "redirect"

Successful Response
​
link_token
string
required

A short-lived Vital Link token for your Custom Link Widget to communicate with the Vital API.

​
link_web_url
string
required

The web browser link to launch the default Vital Link experience. If you requested the token for one specific provider, the link would redirect directly to the provider authentication flow. Otherwise, the user would be presented with a list of providers based on your team and token configurations.
