Connecting ComplyAdvantage

Where to find your ComplyAdvantage API Key and connect it to Salescheck.io.

This step can only be done by a user with the Admin or Compliance role in Salescheck.io. You'll need your own ComplyAdvantage contract - Salescheck.io only uses your existing key to run lookups on your behalf.

Important: ComplyAdvantage runs two different products. Salescheck.io's integration is built against the classic Search API (a single static API key, used as-is). ComplyAdvantage's newer platform, Mesh, uses a completely different login flow (an org "realm" plus a username/password exchanged for a short-lived token) and will not work here. Check with your ComplyAdvantage account manager which product your contract covers before connecting - if you were onboarded onto Mesh, this integration isn't compatible yet.

What this connects

ComplyAdvantage screens a company or entity name against sanctions lists, PEP (Politically Exposed Person) lists, and adverse media coverage. It's triggered whenever a lookup or CRM record includes a company name.

Steps

Log in to your ComplyAdvantage platform

Use the account and login URL provided when your contract was set up.

Find your API Key

In the classic platform, your API key is generated from within the web platform's account/API settings area. If you can't find it, ask your ComplyAdvantage account manager directly - the exact menu location isn't publicly documented and can vary by contract.

Paste it into Salescheck.io

In Salescheck.io, go to Integrations, find the ComplyAdvantage card, paste the key into the API Key field, and click Connect.

Map signals to risk categories

Once connected, map "Sanctions match", "PEP match", and "Adverse media match" to whatever categories match your risk appetite - typically Red or Yellow. "No match" is usually left unmapped.

We don't verify the key until it's actually used for a lookup - a bad, expired, or wrong-product key just causes that provider's check to be skipped for that lookup; local rule-based scoring keeps working regardless.
