Real-time Post back functionality enables the payer’s member portal to be updated with payment data using the Payment Status Update notification. The Payment Status Update notification works as follows:
- When a payment is submitted by the member (Authorized), InstaMed sends a notification to payer in real-time including the CLMREF. If the message fails, InstaMed stores a record in a queue. InstaMed then runs a report and attempts to send messages. If a message fails, InstaMed stores the message in the queue. At the same time InstaMed sends messages that are stuck in the queue. Implementation Details:
- Statuses for which InstaMed sends payment notifications:
- Authorizations – Yes
- Declines – No
- Settlement – No
- Settlement Error – Same transaction
- Chargeback – Yes – New Transaction ID
- Return – Yes – New Transaction ID
- Void – Yes – Same Transaction ID
- Refund – Yes – New Transaction ID
- The job for Authorizations will run real-time; the other statuses will be updated by a job that runs once a day
PLEASE NOTE: Authentication is not available for Member Payments when using the InstaMed Webhook interface
