    Questions, answered plainly

    A few things worth knowing.

    How do we access the API sandbox?
    After an introductory call, we provision a sandbox tenant with test applicant data, API keys, webhooks, and a guided request collection. Your team can build against the same contract used in production.
    Can screening be completely white-labeled?
    Yes. Embed the application and screening journey inside your product with your own colors, domains, language, and applicant experience. TenantAlert stays behind the scenes.
    How does volume pricing work?
    Pricing is shaped around expected monthly screenings, report mix, and the level of embedded workflow. We provide a predictable rate card as part of technical discovery.
    How do you support FCRA compliance?
    TenantAlert provides the screening infrastructure and compliance workflows, including permissible-purpose controls, adverse action support, and audit-ready records. Your team remains responsible for its program and decisions.
    What does a typical go-live timeline look like?
    Teams with a clear applicant flow commonly move from sandbox to a production pilot in four to eight weeks. We map the integration, test edge cases, and stage a controlled rollout with your operations team.
    Can we receive events instead of polling?
    Yes. Webhooks notify your platform when an applicant, report, or review state changes. Events are signed and replayable so your system can respond with confidence.
