Originate a client batch

in this tutorial, you'll learn how to ✅ register the relevant webhooks ✅ submit a client batch of payments ✅ cancel the batch if you are new to ach we recommend you read the ach docid\ f jev5sqf7wkohvl3qgh before starting this tutorial the tutorial assumes you have a knowledge of apis and how they work for more information on sending api calls, see the api basics docid\ hjr4y6ml96zuyj6trytom the tutorial uses these api endpoints api description ach docid\ hzerkoy6y5wxhne2gna71 submits 2 or more payments from the same cr account number as a batch ach docid\ hzerkoy6y5wxhne2gna71 cancels all the payments in the batch that have not yet been completely processed important do not poll the apis for status updates and reconciliation purposes incorporate webhooks into the payment reconciliation process the tutorial uses these webhooks see all ach related webhooks ach webhook events docid\ c 7fbyvfyriid6sgqhvzt webhook description ach batch imported notifies you that the client batch has been imported ach batch canceled notifies you that all pending or on hold payments in the client batch are canceled before you begin make sure you have bank rails docid\ kbym9o05dwmdjsf8k7lzi partner id account number register the relevant webhook events to receive the webhook events for this tutorial both partner accounts need to banking and payments webhooks docid\ dgnysfx9f7pnesmuxnwsp each specific webhook event type once you are registered, the event objects are sent to the registered urls the event object contains a list of resource identifiers used to download details on each event submit a client batch use a client batch when you have several transfers to or from the same account for example, for payroll in this tutorial the example account number is 2207975570 the following 5 different actions appear in the sample code name account number transaction type service type amount routing number account type standard entry class (sec) codes john wick 12345678 push sameday 113 021000021 checking ppd cleveland brown 2342123458 pull standard 243591 021000021 checking ppd matt cauthon 2342123458 pull standard 50 021000021

payment are defined by the call attributes, which can be seen ach docid\ hzerkoy6y5wxhne2gna71 values for these attributes must be provided for each payment in the batch important we strongly recommend that you include an idempotency key in your request header to provide duplicate protection should the payment fail read more about idempotency keys idempotency docid\ jiv0q1 cymjqqger3ijmp money amounts in api calls and responses are written without a decimal point between the dollars and the cents post ach/v1/client batches { { "payments" \[ { "accountnumber" "2207975570", "receiver" {

"ppd", "description" "string", "transactiontype" "pull", "amount" 15000, "servicetype" "sameday" } ] } a successful api call returns a json response with the details of the client batch record that contains the client batch id (in our case, fcb7188f e051 4f5b addd afaa00eadb3a ) and individual paymentidentifiers the identifiers appear in the response in the order that the payments were listed in the request so in our case, the payment to john wick is assigned paymentidentifier 04793f3 13d9 4d52 b57e afaa00eb6c74 , the payment from cleveland brown corresponds to dbe36253 06d1 462a 9117 afaa00eb6c74 , and so on sample client batch response { "id" "fcb7188f e051 4f5b addd afaa00eadb3a", "referenceid" "cb0461724aawt", "status" "processing", "accountnumber" "2207975570", "paymentcount"

the batch was imported successfully the importcount attribute in the response indicates how many payments were imported (meaning originated) out of the total at the time of the response when the status of the client batch changes to imported the ach batch imported webhook event fires the status in the webhook refers to the webhook status, not the client batch status ach batch imported webhook

assuming you've registered for the relevant webhooks, each payment behaves like a originate a payment docid\ jvjeabkmvdeb2ec jqi2q for example, when the federal reserve accepts the payment the status changes to processing , which triggers the ach payment sent event every status change from this point on triggers the event until the payment posts to the receiving account (status complete ) cancel a payment in the batch sometimes it's most efficient to cancel a client batch before all the payments have imported rather than try to cancel a large number of payments individually call the cancel batch api to cancel any pending or on hold payments within a batch call post /v1/client batches/{id}/cancel to cancel the batch use the client batch id the id value (in our case, fcb7188f e051 4f5b addd afaa00eadb3a ) received in the response to the post ach/v1/client batches call curl x post \ header 'accept application/json' \ header 'authorization bearer '\<token>' https //sandbox crbcos com/ach/v1/client batches/fcb7188f e051 4f5b addd afaa00eadb3a/cancel' a successful api call returns a json response with the details of the client batch record that contains the individual payment identifiers of all payments that were canceled (payments with a completed status cannot be canceled ) the status in the response is canceling as with the client batch request above, each identifier returned corresponds to the order in which the payments were presented in the request { "id" "fc0d501d c36b 45b4 a0d5 afaa00eb6c74", "referenceid" "cb0460ujr6dna", "status" "canceling",

cancellation is complete, it triggers the ach batch canceled webhook event note the client batch id (in this case , fcb7188f e051 4f5b addd afaa00eadb3a ) corresponds to the client batch id used in
