Journey Sessions

Create, share, and review verification sessions directly from the back office

The back office lets you create and send journey sessions without any API integration β€” directly from your browser. This is perfect for in-person onboarding, phone-based verification, or testing a journey before embedding it in your app.


Creating a session

From the left sidebar, go to Analysis β†’ By session, then click "New session" (or use the button visible in the session list).

You'll land on the session creation page. Choose the journey you want to send from the "Choose a journey" dropdown.

Create session from back office β€” choose a journey

Once a journey is selected, a QR code and a unique link are generated automatically.


Sharing the session

Once created, you have several ways to get the session to your user:

Session sharing β€” QR code, link, email, SMS
MethodHow it works
QR codeDisplay it on screen β€” the user scans it with their phone to open the journey
Copy linkCopy the unique URL and share it however you like (chat, email, etc.)
Send by EmailEnter an email address and Datakeen sends the link directly
Send by SMSEnter a phone number and Datakeen sends the link by text message

The "New session" button creates a fresh session for a new user on the same journey β€” useful when you're running multiple verifications back to back.

The session link is valid for the duration configured in your Advanced Settings. By default it expires after 24 hours.


Reviewing session results

Once a user completes the journey, the session results are immediately available in the back office. Click on any session in the By session list to open its detail view.

The detail view is organised into tabs:

TabWhat it shows
SummaryAI analysis summary, flagged elements, and the analyst verdict
FormData entered by the user in form steps
[Document name]One tab per document/step verified (e.g. ID card, biometrics)
ReportFull analysis report PDF
Audit TrailComplete log of every action taken on this session
TasksTasks assigned to this session
AML ScreeningAnti-money laundering / sanctions screening results

Summary tab

The Summary tab gives you the full picture at a glance β€” AI verdict, flagged elements, and extracted data β€” along with a panel on the right listing every document and step in the session.

Session detail β€” summary tab

Key sections:

  • AI Analysis β€” The overall AI verdict (Approved / Rejected / To review) with a summary explanation
  • AI Analysis (detail) β€” A narrative description of what the AI found across all verification steps
  • Sensitive elements β€” Any flags raised during the session (fraud indicators, PEP matches, AML alerts)
  • Datakeen Agent β€” Space for your analyst to add a manual note or decision

The right panel lists every document checked, with its individual result (Approved / Rejected).


Changing the status

As an analyst, you can override the AI verdict or confirm it by clicking "Change status" at the top of the session.

Change status modal
OptionWhen to use it
Approved by AIThe AI approved it β€” confirm if you agree
Approved by userYou've reviewed it manually and approve
Rejected by userYou've reviewed it manually and reject it

You can (and should) add a reason in the text field β€” this gets recorded in the Audit Trail and is visible to the rest of your team.

The webhook configured in Advanced Settings fires when you change a status, so your downstream systems are notified automatically.


Report tab

The Report tab shows a downloadable PDF summary of the full verification. This report includes the AI results, extracted identity data, and the final decision.

Session report PDF

Use the toolbar above the PDF to zoom, rotate, download or print the report.


AML Screening tab

The AML Screening tab shows the results of the anti-money laundering and sanctions screening run against the identity data collected in the session.

AML screening results

The screening checks the person's name against multiple lists and databases:

CategoryWhat is checked
PEPPolitically Exposed Persons
SanctionsInternational sanctions lists (EU, UN, OFAC…)
Criminal recordsCriminal records databases
Adverse mediaNegative press and adverse media
OtherOther risk categories

Each category shows how many matches were found. Click on a category to expand the results and see the individual matches, including their source and relevance score.

A green result across all categories means no matches were found. Any flag should be reviewed manually before approving the session.
