Steps
Enable API access in WorkBright admin settings and generate an API key
Authenticate every request with the key in the API-Key HTTP header against your subdomain-specific base URL
Create or trigger an I-9 assignment for the new hire (or use Embedded WorkBright to host the I-9 flow inside your own onboarding app) so employee Section 1 and employer/authorized-rep Section 2 can be completed remotely
Poll or subscribe to webhooks on the I-9 Submission resource to track status (accepted, pending, reverify) and retrieve structured fields plus uploaded document attachments
Reconcile completed submissions against your HRIS employee records using the linked employee_id, and route any downstream E-Verify cases per WorkBright's E-Verify workflow
Known gotchas
The API is genuinely public/self-serve (REST, API-Key header), but document image attachments live on S3 and are only reachable through authenticated WorkBright endpoints, not by caching the S3 URLs directly
Multi-document List A choices (e.g., foreign passport plus I-551 stamp) return as multiple entries sharing the same list_key with an incrementing list_index - naive one-document-per-list parsing will silently drop data
WorkBright explicitly warns never to hardcode or bundle the API key client-side (e.g., in a mobile app); it must only be called from backend servers
