# Create video KYC session

## Before you begin

Make sure you have the following in place:

* **An Identomat Manage account.** If you don't have one yet, contact your administrator or reach out to the Identomat team.
* **A Video KYC configuration.** Configurations define the verification steps your end user will go through. Your administrator sets these up. If none is available yet, request one before proceeding.

***

### Sign in to Manage

1. Go to Identomat [Manage](https://manage.identomat.com/).
2. Enter your **email** and **password**.
3. Click **Sign in** to access your account.

### Create a new session

Once you're signed in and a configuration is available:

1. Navigate to the **Sessions** page from the left sidebar.
2. Click **+ New session** in the top-right corner.
3. In the dialog that appears, fill in the following:
   * **Configuration** *(required)* – Select the Video KYC workflow you want to use.
   * **Session Name** *(optional)* – Add an internal label to help you identify this session later.
4. Click **Generate link**.

### Share the session link

After the link is generated, you have a few options for getting it to your end user:

* **Copy and share manually** — Copy the URL and send it via your preferred channel.
* **Send via SMS or email** — Identomat can trigger delivery through your own messaging service. To enable this, configure callback URLs in your **Company settings**. Once set up, you'll receive callbacks for link delivery and user actions. See [Callbacks](/developer-tools/callbacks.md) for setup instructions.

A few things to keep in mind:

* The link remains accessible from the session detail view if you need to retrieve it later.
* Link expiry is controlled by your workflow configuration. Check with your administrator if you're unsure how long a link stays active.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.identomat.com/video-kyc/create-video-kyc-session.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
