Frequently asked questions

Ceven treats Enigma data as transient context. When an agent calls the Enigma API to verify a business, the returned data is used to complete the specific workflow step, such as updating a CRM field or triggering a risk alert. We do not build a parallel database of Enigma's proprietary business data. All requests are encrypted in transit, and the data is processed according to the privacy settings you have configured in your Ceven workspace. You control exactly which downstream systems receive the verified data, ensuring that sensitive business identity information only lands where it is required for compliance or underwriting.
Yes. You can build a workflow where a form submission triggers an Enigma search to find the legal entity, followed by a KYB verification and a sanctions screen. If all checks pass, the agent can automatically move the lead to a qualified stage in your CRM and send an invite to the customer. If a check fails, the agent can flag the account for manual review and send a notification to your compliance team. This removes the need for a human to manually copy and paste business names between your onboarding portal and the Enigma dashboard.
When Enigma returns no results for a specific query, the Ceven agent can be programmed to take several fallback actions. It can attempt a fuzzy search with a slightly different business name, ask the user for a more specific detail like a tax ID or state of incorporation, or simply flag the entity as unverified. You can define the exact logic in the workflow editor, such as routing the application to a manual researcher if the automated Enigma search fails after three attempts with different name variations.
Ceven can handle bulk requests by iterating through a list of businesses from a CSV or a database. The agent calls the Enigma API for each record and updates the corresponding row in your system. However, users should be aware that Enigma enforces strict rate limits on their API endpoints depending on your plan tier. To prevent errors, Ceven automatically implements a queuing system that spaces out requests to stay within your specific Enigma rate limit, ensuring that large batches are processed reliably without triggering a lockout.
The agent uses Enigma's search and matching capabilities to handle ambiguity. When multiple entities with similar names are returned, the agent compares additional metadata like the city, state, or zip code provided in your application. If the confidence score is low, the agent will not guess. Instead, it will present the top three most likely matches to a human operator in a Slack or Email notification, asking for a selection before proceeding with the formal KYB verification or sanctions screening.
Enigma aggregates data from official state records, which are updated by the states themselves on various schedules. While Enigma strives for high freshness, there is often a lag between a state filing and the data appearing in the API. Ceven reflects the current state of the Enigma database. If you need to verify a filing that happened yesterday, the agent may not see it yet. We recommend using the agent to check the registration status periodically for high risk accounts to catch changes in legal standing.
The agent sends the business name or officer names to the Enigma sanctions endpoint. Enigma checks these against a wide array of global watchlists. The agent then parses the response for any hits. You can set up a logic gate where a hit on a high priority list immediately freezes the onboarding process and notifies a legal officer, while a low confidence match simply adds a note to the customer profile for a human to review during the final sign off process.
To connect Enigma, you will need a valid API key from your Enigma account dashboard. Once you provide this key in the Ceven integration settings, the agent can make authenticated calls on your behalf. We store this key in an encrypted vault. It is important to ensure that your Enigma API key has the correct permissions for the specific tools you want to use, such as KYB or sanctions screening, as some features are gated behind specific Enigma subscription tiers.
