Widget Events

When key actions occur in the Connect Widget, widget events are sent to you with the details that you need to respond to the event in your codebase.

WARNINGDon’t use widget events for keeping data in sync between platforms. Webhooks are more reliable when coordinating events between your servers and MX servers.

How to Handle Events

The way you’ll handle widget events depends on your integration method.

Web Widget SDK
React Native SDK
JavaScript Loader
WebView

If you’re using the Web Widget SDK, you’ll listen for widget events by passing a callbacks.onEvent handler to the ConnectWidget constructor. The handler receives an event object with type and metadata fields.All payloads include the user_guid (string) and session_guid (string) fields.The following is an example integration that lets you listen to the events we send.

import { ConnectWidget } from '@mxenabled/web-widget-sdk'

const widget = new ConnectWidget({
  containerSelector: '#mx-widget-container',
  url: widgetUrl,
  callbacks: {
    onEvent: (event) => {
      switch (event.type) {
        case 'mx/connect/connected/backToSearch':
          console.log('User guid:', event.metadata.user_guid)
          console.log('Session guid:', event.metadata.session_guid)
          console.log('Context:', event.metadata.context)
          break
      }
    }
  }
})

NOTEIf you’re using our legacy React Native SDK, see the legacy documentation.

The Event callback function (type: (event: Event) => void) is called whenever an event occurs within the widget. It will always contain a type and metadata field.

type Event = {
  type: string // Event type identifier (for example, "mx/connect/oauthRequested")
  metadata: Record<string, unknown> // Event-specific data and context
}

Here’s an example that handles the OAuth Requested event:

const handleEvent = (event: Event) => {
  switch (event.type) {
    case "mx/connect/oauthRequested":
      console.log("OAuth requested with URL:", event.metadata)
      break

    default:
      console.log("Received event:", event.type, event.metadata)
  }
}

<ConnectWidget
  url="https://....."
  onEvent={handleEvent}
/>

When using the JavaScript Loader, events have the following properties:

The mx field (boolean) lets you filter out events coming from MX.
The type field (string) identifies what the event represents.
- Schema: mx/<entity|widget>/<event>
- Example: mx/connect/institutionSelected
The metadata object contains:
- user_guid (string)
- session_guid (string)
- x_callback_payload (returns if the X-CALLBACK-PAYLOAD header was defined in the Platform API widget URL request)

The following is an example integration that lets you listen to the events we send.

function handleEvent(event) {
  if (event.data.mx) {
    // handle the mx widget event using event.data.type and event.data.metadata.
  }
}

window.addEventListener('message', handleEvent)

When embedding the widget in a WebView, events have the following properties:

The mx field (boolean) lets you filter out events coming from MX.
The type field (string) identifies what the event represents.
- Schema: mx/<entity|widget>/<event>
- Example: mx/connect/institutionSelected
The metadata object contains:
- user_guid (string)
- session_guid (string)
- x_callback_payload (returns if the X-CALLBACK-PAYLOAD header was defined in the Platform API widget URL request)

Ensure is_mobile_webview is set to true when requesting a widget URL, which affects the following:

Sends events with window.location = {scheme}://{event path}?metadata={json encoded metadata} instead of window.postMessage(message). You must capture the URLs delivered via window.location = "someurl" calls within the iFrame, parse out the path and query string, then JSON-decode the metadata field. These events will all have the mx:// prefix and the following format: mx://<entity|widget>/<event>?metadata=<metadata as an encodedURI JSON string>.
Sets oauth_referral_source to APP so the OAuth flow will redirect back to a native application instead of sending an event to the opening window.
Prevents the widget from automatically trying to open an OAuth window; instead it will send the OAuth requested event so your app can correctly open the OAuth window in the user agent.

By default, the ui_message_webview_url_scheme will be mx. This can be configured when requesting a widget URL by setting the value to whatever custom string you prefer, for example yourAppScheme.

WARNINGYour app must capture all navigation events to mx:// and custom schemes like yourAppScheme:// so the WebView doesn’t lose the Connect Widget session and the app doesn’t break.

Example Navigation Event Schema

Schema:
{ui_message_webview_url_scheme}://{some/path}?metadata={jsonString}

Default:
mx://connect/loaded?metadata={jsonString}

Custom:
yourAppScheme://connect/institutionSearch?metadata={jsonString}

Suggested Configuration for WebViews

curl -i -X POST https://int-api.mx.com/users/USR-29eab3cf-6a87-fe97-6279-563b63e75a53/widget_urls \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.mx.api.v1+json' \
-u 'client_id:api_key' \
-H 'Content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
    "widget_url": {
      "widget_type": "connect_widget",
      "is_mobile_webview": true,
      "ui_message_version": 4,
      "ui_message_webview_url_scheme": "{app_scheme}"
    }
  }'

# Possible navigation events based on the config above:
# `mx://load`
# `yourAppScheme://connect/institutionSearch?metadata={...json...}

Code Examples

Java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private WebView webView = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
  webView.setWebViewClient(new ConnectWebviewClient());
  webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
  webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
}
private class ConnectWebviewClient extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        if (url.startsWith("mx://")) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}
}

Swift

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()
  webView.delegate = self
  ...
}

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor
navigationAction: WKNavigationAction,
decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Swift.Void) {

// Intercept custom URI
let surl = navigationAction.url?.absoluteString
if (surl?.hasPrefix("mx://"))! {
  // Take action here

  // Cancel request
  decisionHandler(.cancel)
  return
}

// Allow request
decisionHandler(.allow)
}
}

The section details important widget events and what to do when you receive them.

Widget Event	What To Do
Back to Search	If you disabled the search institution step by setting `disable_institution_search: true`, listen to this event to know when your user will be navigated to the search step so you can close the widget.
Connect Loaded	Track the start of the user’s journey. You can also use this if you intend on hiding the widget from the user until you know it’s loaded.
Institution Search and Institution Selected	Use these events to track trends in institutions your users want to connect to. If you identify a trend, you can customize the top 10 institutions in the default institutions list. You could also create UI that calls out and loads your users to connect to that institution directly.
Member Connected, Primary Action Selected	If you don’t want the end user to return to connect more accounts after they connected to one, close the widget.
OAuth Requested	This event only applies if you embedded the widget inside a mobile app using a WebView, or using an iFrame inside a WebView. Send the user to the OAuth provider’s site, opening the URL (contained in the event’s `metadata`) in the device’s default browser.
Widget Ping	Used to keep the widget session alive. See Handling Session Timeouts for more info.

Back to Search

Sent when the user selects a button that navigates to the search step, as defined in the Step Change event. Used in relation with disable_institution_search widget configuration option. Recommended use: If you disabled the search institution step by setting disable_institution_search: true, listen to this event to know when your user will be navigated to the search step so you can close the widget. Fields:

user_guid (string)
session_guid (string)

WARNINGIf you listen for this event, don’t listen for any of the Primary Action events. You’ll receive a double payload.

Initial Data Ready

DEPRECATEDThis event is deprecated and should not be used in new implementations.

NOTEThis event only applies if you’re using Platform API version 20250224.

Triggered when some initial data you requested has aggregated and is ready for retrieval. When you receive this event, you can close the widget and retrieve some initial data to avoid making the user wait until every requested product finishes aggregating. For more details, including what initial data is sent based on the products you set, see Accessing Priority Data.

OAuth Requested

NOTEThis event only applies if you embedded the widget inside a mobile app using a WebView, or using an iFrame inside a WebView.

Sent when the user navigates to the OAuth provider’s site. Note that the redirect doesn’t happen in WebViews. The native app will need to use this event to send the user to the URL contained in the metadata. The URL given in the payload will always be an MX URL. The user will be routed to us first (for example, mx://connect/oauthRequested?metadata={...JSON encoded payload ...}), then to the provider. Recommended use: Only use if you embedded the widget inside a mobile app using a WebView, or using an iFrame inside a WebView. Fields:

`connected`	Where the user lands when they have successfully connected.
`connecting`	Where the user goes while the connection is being attempted.
`disclosure`	Where the user reads the MX privacy policy and agrees by selecting Continue. This is optional and is turned off by default.
`enterCreds`	Where the user enters credentials for a particular institution.
`error`	Where the user lands when the member create was unsuccessful due to user or system error.
`existingMember`	Where the user lands if they are trying to add a member they have previously added.
`loginError`	Where the user lands when they have unsuccessfully connected due to user or system error.
`mfa`	Where the user enters in MFA responses.
`oauth`	Where the user goes instead of enter credentials if the institution and client supports oauth.
`search`	Where the user searches for institutions.
`timeOut`	When the user has been connecting for more than 60 seconds without any updates to the member, if the member’s `connection_status` isn’t `PENDING`.
`verifyExistingMember`	Where the user can verify existing members when `data_request.products` includes `account_verification`.
