Async Response Patterns.

Not all decisions require synchronous responses. Learn patterns for handling ABIS assessments asynchronously while maintaining user experience.

ASYNC DECISION PATTERNS

Synchronous ABIS calls add latency to every request. For non-critical paths, fire ABIS analysis asynchronously and process results via webhooks or polling. This maintains responsive UX while still capturing behavioral intelligence.

The key pattern: optimistic approval with async verification. Allow the action to proceed immediately, but trigger ABIS analysis in the background. If high risk is detected post-action, initiate remediation (reversal, account freeze, manual review).

Webhooks provide real-time async notification. Configure ABIS to POST results to your endpoint when analysis completes. This eliminates polling overhead and enables immediate response to high-risk detections.

FIRE-AND-FORGET

Send behavioral data to ABIS, don't wait for response. Useful for non-critical analytics and baseline building.

LATENCY: 0ms

OPTIMISTIC + VERIFY

Approve action immediately, verify async. Remediate if ABIS returns high risk after the fact.

LATENCY: 0ms

WEBHOOK CALLBACK

ABIS POSTs results to your endpoint when ready. No polling overhead, real-time notification.

LATENCY: ASYNC

LONG POLL

Client holds connection open until ABIS responds or timeout. Balances latency with responsiveness.

LATENCY: VARIABLE
