SEONUser actionStable

Collect device session (SEON)

Collects, in a hosted user experience, an encrypted SEON Device Intelligence session that can enrich a later fraud assessment.

Collection date

Vue d’ensemble

This node opens a user action that loads SEON Device Intelligence in the browser and produces an encrypted session representing available device, network, and, depending on configuration, behavioral or geolocation signals.

The session is intended to be sent to a fraud assessment; it is not itself a decision.
Collection starts only after an explicit user action on the button shown in the journey.
The journey may be configured to continue without a session when Device Intelligence is unavailable.

Typical scenario

During checkout, the buyer starts the device check. The resulting session is sent with the order, IP address, and buyer context to Assess fraud (SEON). SEON can then use device signals in its decision.

Quick start

The recommended configuration is to keep default collection settings, adapt displayed text, and bind the session to the assessment node.

Minimum configuration

Select an active SEON configuration.
Define a clear title and description in the journey language.
Keep allow_degraded = true when device data is not a mandatory signal.

Enhanced collection

Enable geolocation only when its purpose is justified.
Adapt behavioral_targets to fields actually present.
Provide consent or information text appropriate to your legal framework.

Configuration example

Parameter	Binding	Role
`extension_config_id`	`seon_config_id`	SEON configuration and region
`title`	`Security check`	User-visible title
`description`	`We analyze this device to prevent fraud.`	Collection purpose
`allow_degraded`	`true`	Allows continuation without a session

Key point Always bind device_session to the node that actually consumes the signal. A collected session not sent to Assess fraud (SEON) does not improve the assessment.

Parameters 10

Presentation and configuration

SEON configuration and text shown to the user.

extension_config_idRequisref(extension_config:seon)

Active SEON configuration. Its processing region is reused to initialize Device Intelligence.

titleOptionnelstring

Title shown above the collection action. Default: Secure device check.

descriptionOptionnelstring

Text explaining why device signals are collected. Adapt it to journey context and your transparency policy.

consent_textOptionnelstring

Additional text shown to the user, for example information about collection purpose or a link to your privacy policy.

Collected signals

Choice of additional signals requested from the browser.

geolocation_enabledOptionnelboolean

Allows Device Intelligence to request browser geolocation access. Disabled by default. Enable only when useful and covered by your consent policy.

behavioral_monitoring_enabledOptionnelboolean

Enables collection of behavioral signals on targeted page elements. Enabled by default.

behavioral_targetsOptionnelstring

CSS selectors for elements tracked for behavioral signals. Default covers input, textarea, select, and button. Change only when your page structure requires it.

Resilience

Adjust these settings only when network constraints or journey-blocking policy require it.

network_timeout_msOptionnelinteger

Maximum time allowed for Device Intelligence network operations, from 250 to 10,000 ms. Default: 2,000 ms.

field_timeout_msOptionnelinteger

Maximum time allowed to collect signals for one field, from 250 to 10,000 ms. Default: 2,000 ms.

allow_degradedOptionnelboolean

Determines whether the user may continue when collection is unavailable or fails. Enabled by default.

Value	Behavior
`true`	The journey may continue with `collection_status = unavailable` or `failed`, without a `device_session`.
`false`	Failure is blocking and must be resolved before the user action can continue.

Outputs 4

Collection result

Outputs to send to the rest of the process.

device_sessionOptionnelstring

Encrypted session produced by SEON when collection succeeds. Bind it to the device_session input of Assess fraud (SEON).

collection_statusenum

Result of the collection attempt.

Value	Signification
`collected`	The device session was collected and `device_session` is available.
`unavailable`	The Device Intelligence SDK could not be loaded or initialized.
`failed`	The SDK was available, but session collection failed.

collected_atOptionneldatetime

Date and time of successful collection. This output is absent when no session was obtained.

Diagnostic

Available only when collection is unavailable or fails.

error_messageOptionnelstring

Message describing collection unavailability or failure. Use it for diagnosis; do not necessarily display it verbatim to the end user.

Behavior

Prepare the user action

The node reuses the region from SEON configuration and prepares text, timeouts, and collection options.

Charger Device Intelligence

The browser loads and initializes the SEON SDK. Unavailability produces collection_status = unavailable.

Trigger collection

The user explicitly starts the check. The button can also refresh an already-collected session.

Return the result

Successful collection produces device_session, collection_status = collected, and collected_at.

Apply the degraded-mode policy

With allow_degraded = true, the journey may continue without a session. Otherwise failure remains blocking.

Limits and responsibilities

The node collects a device session; it calculates no score and makes no fraud decision.
Collection requires a browser able to load the SEON SDK and a user interaction.
Enabling geolocation may trigger a browser permission request.
A degraded execution produces no device_session: the following assessment has fewer signals.
You remain responsible for informing users, any required consent, and ensuring collection complies with your context.

Troubleshooting

`collection_status = unavailable`

The SDK could not be loaded or initialized. Check network access to the SEON domain, journey CSP policies, and provider configuration.

`collection_status = failed`

Collection started but produced no session. Inspect error_message, check timeouts, and optionally allow another attempt.

The journey remains blocked

Check allow_degraded. When false, any unavailability or failure must be resolved before continuing.
