Verify an onboarding session
/onboarding-sessions/{id}/actions/verifySensitive. Records that an administrator checked a completed session, with a note, and returns the session with its verification. The verifier is the token's own user, the service user for a service token. A session in any state can be verified, and each call records another verification. dry_run supported. Sends the onboarding_session.verified webhook. It can't be undone.
Path parameters
The onboarding session's id, a uuid. An unknown id, or a session you cannot see, returns 404.
Query parameters
Validate and run the call without committing it, returning what the real call would return with
meta.dry_runset.
Headers
Makes a retry safe. Send a new UUID for each new request and reuse it only to retry that request; the first response is replayed for 24 hours.
