This guide helps you get acquainted with the different errors that may arise as you embed the signup flow in your website or client portal.
If a business customer prematurely abandons the Embedded Signup flow, we will send a message event to the browser that spawned the flow, that indicates which screen the customer was viewing when they abandoned the flow.
The data.current_step
property value indicates which screen the customer abandoned:
{ data: { current_step: "<CURRENT_STEP>", }, type: "WA_EMBEDDED_SIGNUP", event: "CANCEL", version: 3 }
