Widget Overview

If you'd like to have a general overview of how the widget works, make sure to check out our Connect Widget Overview article.

For mobile-native applications, we've created a hosted version of our widget that significantly simplifies your development and integration process. All it requires is for you to create a webview in your application and some knowledge of handling deeplink redirects.

On this page, we'll provide you with reference documentation on what information to pass when starting your webview as well as the possible events you can receive from the widget.

Widget for webviews and OFDA Brazil

When using the widget for webviews to create links with OFDA Brazil, make sure to set the following required parameters:

  • set locale to pt
  • set mode to webapp (The mode query parameter is only used for OFDA brazil)

Below is an example of all the query parameters:

https://widget.belvo.io/?access_token={access_code}&locale=pt&mode=webapp

Start Widget via webview

When you initiate your webview, in order to start the widget correctly, you need to pass your access_token in the URL string.
