DocsWatchTowerGetting Started

Overview

Getting Started

Set up Remllo WatchTower, send a test transaction, and validate decisions, alerts, and cases before production rollout.

Provision the organization

Set up the organization and the first admin workspace correctly.

Configure ingestion

Generate the right machine-to-machine key and prepare the first request safely.

Validate end to end

Send synthetic transactions from your backend and confirm the response and console records.

Connect your backend to WatchTower

Your backend sends transaction data to WatchTower over HTTPS. WatchTower evaluates the request and returns a decision. Your system remains responsible for executing payments and applying that decision.

For a check before payment execution, call WatchTower before your system releases the payment. For monitoring of completed transactions, send the recorded transaction after posting; a returned BLOCK cannot undo a completed payment.

Build your first integration

  1. Set up your organization and obtain an API key. Keep the key on your server.
  2. Map your internal transaction fields to the canonical payload, or use a configured adapter. Preserve stable references and customer identifiers.
  3. Follow Send First Transaction using synthetic data and inspect the actual response.
  4. Implement decision handling in your backend and retry protection. Test the payment behavior for each outcome you use.
  5. Confirm the transaction and any resulting alerts or cases in the console, then complete the Go-Live Checklist.

If your data is in a file

An API integration is not required to review a file. Use CSV and Excel Import to map columns and validate records. Read Historical Backfill before importing historical activity.
