# Send Verification Link (Legacy)

## Overview

This quick guide shows you how to send a **verification link** to your customers through the ComplyCube Web Portal, allowing them to provide their details and complete multiple verification checks in one go.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a **legacy approach**. For a more compliant and maintainable method, we recommend using [workflows](/documentation/product-guides/compliance-studio/workflows.md), which offer structured journeys and centralized policy enforcement. See our updated [verification link guide](/documentation/quick-guides/web-portal-quick-guide/send-verification-link-workflows.md) for details.

#### Create a client <a href="#create-a-client" id="create-a-client"></a>

The first step in running any check is to create a client (i.e. a customer).

Navigate to the [Clients](https://portal.complycube.com/clients) page and click the "**Add client**" button. Enter the following details and add client:

* **First Name:** John
* **Last Name:** Doe
* **Email:** <john.doe@test.com>

After adding the client, click "**Edit**" to add a date of birth. Set it to "01-01-1990".

{% hint style="info" %}
The more data you provide about a client, the richer and more accurate ComplyCube AML Screening Checks will be. We **highly recommend** that you provide the client's **date of birth** before conducting an AML Screening Check.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Send a verification link <a href="#send-a-verification-link" id="send-a-verification-link"></a>

Click the "**Perform verification**" button. You will then be presented with a dialogue.

Select "**Send verification link to client**", then choose "**Select checks manually**".

Pick the check types you want to run, and click "**Create link**" to generate it.

A verification link will be generated. You can either:

1. Copy it to share manually, or
2. Click "**Email link to client**" to send it directly to the customer’s inbox.

{% hint style="info" %}
The email sent to your customer will include instructions for completing the verification and will reference your **company’s legal name**. You can customize the look and feel of the verification flow through your [branding](https://portal.complycube.com/settings/branding) page.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### View check results <a href="#view-check-results" id="view-check-results"></a>

After the customer completes the flow, ComplyCube processes the verification checks and automatically notifies you via [email notifications](https://portal.complycube.com/settings/notifications) or [webhook events](/documentation/integration-resources/webhooks.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

If you're using the **Sandbox** environment, you can try out various scenarios using our [testing data](/documentation/integration-resources/testing-data.md).
