Submit Entity for Onboarding Review

Once all the steps above has been done, call the onboarding-submissions endpoint with the entity_id. This endpoint updates the entity verification status based on the decision.
  curl --request POST \
    --url https://{baseURL}/onboarding-submissions \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer {{NUVION_API_KEY}}' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '
{
  "entity_id": "01KDZ0FGT1WQNEGF5HMTX530D7"
}
If all your documents are approved, the onboarding-submission endpoint will return the entity id and the verification status.
