Today we're introducing BrightMatch Flow and BrightMatch Relay, two new products that represent a fundamental restructuring of how developers interact with the BrightMatch platform.

BrightMatch Flow centralizes all application data models and schemas into a dedicated product accessible at /flow. This provides developers with a single reference point for understanding the structure of loan application data exchanged between BrightMatch and lending partners.

BrightMatch Relay simplifies webhook integration by focusing exclusively on status notification endpoints, available at /relay. Lenders send status updates to BrightMatch using POST /relay/v1/status. As part of this launch, we've streamlined the webhook implementation by removing HMAC signature authentication requirements and simplifying the payload structure. The webhook payload now requires only a status field, with optional fields for decline reasons and timestamps.

Our documentation has been rebuilt around these two products, replacing the previous single API specification with focused, product-specific documentation. The navigation reflects this new structure, guiding developers through data models first (Flow) before implementation details (Relay).

These changes maintain full backward compatibility while establishing a foundation for future platform enhancements. Developers can access the new documentation at /flow for BrightMatch Flow and /relay for BrightMatch Relay.
