What can you do with Connector Steps?
Save time and effort
With Connector Steps, you can route back tto screens that you've already spent time customizing or to screens that start Modules (such as Verifications). This allows you to configure those original pieces of functionality in detail, route back to them, and build your Inquiry Flow without building something more than once.
Enable retry logic for users
Connector Steps, when paired with Branching Steps, can enable retry logic for Verifications. his is commonly used to address user input errors or non-ideal captures of images needed for Verifications. This helps businesses balance user ease of use while ensuring the highest quality information for verifying individuals.

Examples
The following examples reference an Inquiry Flow that utilizes two Connector Steps alongside a Branching Step.
Allow users to retry Verification attempts with a Connector Step
In the upper route of the Branching Step shown in the example, users who failed the Government ID Verification see a retry screen (if they have not failed too many times as per the business logic within the Branching Step). After the retry screen, if the user clicks 'Retry', they are directed back to the start of the Government ID collection step where they can attempt to verify again.
Reuse existing screens and save time with Connector Step
In the lower route of the Branching Step, users move down this route if they have attempted to verify their Government ID too many times. This is a common setup for Modules with many customers choosing to customize the business logic further or add additional levels of verification. In this scenario the Connector Step routes to a Failed Screen. The failed screen only needs to be designed once and can then be reused multiple times with the help of Connector Steps.
