Enhancements

User Token Impersonation Support for Developer Connect
With this release, Encompass Developer Connect supports a new user impersonation flow. User token impersonation enables privileged Encompass users to perform actions in Encompass under a different user account. For example, an Encompass user with a super administrator persona can run a scenario or update loan information in Encompass by impersonating the loan officer assigned to the loan. Previously, impersonation could only be achieved through the Encompass SDK.

Encompass Developer Connect supports the user impersonation flow by utilizing a custom “grant type” token exchange (urn:elli:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange). Developer Connect exchanges the access token of the currently logged-in user with a new access token that includes impersonation semantics, such as the user ID of the currently logged in user (actor_encompass_user) and the impersonated user.

Supported Impersonation Scenarios
Impersonation scenarios currently supported by Developer Connect are provided below. In all cases when a user impersonates another user, the access privileges of the impersonated user are applied to the API calls.

For more information about user token impersonation, see the Authentication section.

New and Updated V3 APIs

1. Create a new service setup in Encompass LO Connect Admin > Services Management.
2. Download the CBC cURL API definition from Encompass LO Connect> Services Management> Manual Ordering> DataVerify Flood Services setting.

New and Updated V1 APIs

New Rate Lock API Added to Void a Rate Lock
A Lock Desk user can use the Void Rate Lock API to submit a request to void a pricing event (i.e., lock, relock, extension, denial, or cancellation) and return the lock to its previous state.
Note: This API is applicable only to pricing events in Correspondent Individual Best Effort loans that are not assigned to a Correspondent Trade.

Endpoint URL:
PUT /v1/loans/{loanId}/ratelockRequests/{requestId}/void?dataSyncOption=<>

Webhook Enhancements

Delete Event Now Supported for the Loan Resource
The Webhook API now supports the delete event for the Loan resource. Create a subscription to the delete event to receive notifications when a loan is permanently deleted from Encompass.

FieldChange Event Now Supported for the Loan Resource
The Webhook API now supports the fieldChange event for the Loan resource to provide users with finer-grained filtering than the Loan Change webhook. Create a subscription for the fieldChange event to receive notifications when a change occurs on a specified field, if the field is added to the Audit Trail Database.

Deprecated APIs

V1 EPPS APIs
Starting with the 21.2 release, which is currently scheduled for June 5, 2021, Encompass Developer Connect will no longer support the V1 EPPS APIs. In previous release notes and in the Deprecation Notice - EPPS V1 APIs, we announced that Encompass Developer Connect will stop supporting V1 EPPS APIs starting with this release, and we have recommended that developers who use the V1 EPPS APIs start using the V2 EPPS APIs. Please use the V2 EPPS APIs going forward to programmatically retrieve best-fit program and pricing information and to retrieve and select rates for Encompass loans.

Fixed Issues

Locked Fields in Data Templates Being Honored When Applied in v3 Create & Update Loan Apis
Earlier, field locks in data templates referenced as part of Loan Template Sets were being ignored, and Encompass calculations were being applied. With 21.2 June release, locked fields values will be applied. However, there is a known issue where a locked field, if set to null, is throwing a 500 Error. This is being fixed in 21.3 October release. This is working as expected in V1 Loan Management APIs.
EBSP-19272

Field Data Entry Business Rules With CurrentUser in Advanced Code Was Causing Loan Update to Fail
If CurrentUser method was being used in any Field Data Entry Business rule on an instance, and the loan met the criteria for the Business Rule execution, an "Advanced Code Definition execution failed" error message was preventing the loan from being updated through V1 and V3 Update Loan APIs. This has now been fixed in the 21.2 June release so that the advanced code in the business rule is properly evaluated, and appropriate response is returned.
EBSP-21348

Field Data Entry Business Rules Are Now Evaluated for All Applications in the Loan When the Rule Has a Value Check as Part of Advanced Code
The V1 and V3 Manage Loan APIs were evaluating the Field Data Entry Business Rule only for the primary borrower pair/ application when a value was specified as part of the business rule's Advanced Code. This is fixed with the 21.2 June release to validate the value against all Borrower pairs in the loan.
EBSP-27112

URLA 2020 Proposed Supplemental Property Insurance not Honoring the Itemization Fee Management Settings
Persona Access Rights and Itemization Fee management persona overwrite rules are now honored with the V3 Update Loan API for Lines 1007, 1008 and 1009.
EBSP-27996

Send Encompass Docs APIs

ICE Mortgage Technology is offering a new service to access V1 APIs in Developer Connect for generating, managing, and sending Encompass document packages.

The Send Encompass Docs service provides APIs to order initial disclosures, closing documents, and on-demand forms and send them to recipients (i.e., borrowers, co-borrower, and non-borrowing owners) via the Encompass Consumer Connect borrower portal. Recipients are notified by email when documents are available for them to view. The notification email includes a link to the borrower portal where the documents can be viewed, printed, and eSigned. When an order is sent, a Disclosure Tracking entry is created in Encompass. Lenders can retrieve documents that are completed by the recipient from the Encompass eFolder.

The following Send Encompass Docs APIs are available in this release:

API for Managing Plan Codes

• Manage Plan Codes V1 API
  Retrieves a list of company plan codes and applies program data from a selected plan code to a loan file. Any plan code conflicts are provided in the response.

  APIs:
  GET /encompassdocs/v1/planclodes
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/planCodes/{planCodeId}/evaluator

APIs for Managing Document Packages

• Opening Packages (Initial Disclosure) V1 API
  Initial Disclosure Packages are also known as Opening documents in Encompass Developer Connect. The /opening endpoint provides methods to audit a loan, order disclosures, generate and send the opening (three-day) package to borrowers.

  APIs:
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/planclodes/{planCodeID}/evaluator
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/encompassdocs/v1/documentAudits/opening
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/encompassdocs/v1/documentOrders/opening

• Closing Packages V1 API
  The /closing endpoint is provided with methods to audit a loan, order docs, generate, and send Closing documents to the Settlement Agent. Once the package is sent, a notification will be sent to the recipient with the pre-signed URL for accessing the forms to be printed and signed at closing. A compliance audit (by Mavent) is included with Closing document orders.

  APIs:
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/planclodes/{planCodeID}/evaluator
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/encompassdocs/v1/documentAudits/closing
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/encompassdocs/v1/documentOrders/closing

• On-Demand Document Orders with Additional Forms V1 API
  One or more additional forms can be added to an existing package using the /forms endpoint. When Loan Estimates or Closing Disclosures are added to a document package, the package will be tracked with the Disclosure Tracking Tool in Encompass.

  Endpoint URL:
  POST /encompassdocs/v1/documentOrders/forms

API for Retrieving Loan Recipients and Authentication Codes for Doc Orders

• Retrieve List of Loan Recipients V3 API
  A new V3 Loan: Recipients API is available for retrieving all recipients associated with a loan. Recipients can include the borrower, co-borrowers, and non-borrowing owners on a loan. This API also returns authentication codes when applicable.

  Endpoint URL:
  GET /encompass/v3/loan/{loanId}/recipients

API for Retrieving Disclosure Tracking Settings to Select Forms for On-Demand Doc Orders

• Retrieve Disclosure Tracking Settings V3 API
  A new V3 Settings: Disclosure Tracking API is available for retrieving the Disclosure Tracking settings defined in Encompass > Settings > Loan Setup > Disclosure Tracking Settings. This can be used to choose the list of forms to be sent out as part of On Demand Disclosure packages.

  Endpoint URL:
  GET /v3/settings/loan/disclosureTracking

Additional Resources
To get started with the Send Encompass Docs APIs, see the Ordering Document Packages blog post.

Correspondent Trades API

New API Available to Unassign Loans from a Correspondent Trade
The Delete method is now available for the Correspondent Trade API. Use this API to systematically unassign loans from a Correspondent Trade.

Endpoint URL:
DELETE /secondary/v1/trades/correspondent/{tradeId}/loans

Update Correspondent Trade API Now Supports action=updateStatus
The Update Correspondent Trade API now supports updateStatus as a value for action query parameter. Use updateStatus to edit a single Correspondent Trade or to change a commitment status to Committed, Delivered, or Settled.

Endpoint URL:
PATCH /secondary/v1/trades/correspondent/{tradeId}?action=updateStatus

Enhancements

Changes Made to Disclosure Tracking Logs & Time Zones
As described in the Encompass April Release Notes, a change has been made to the timeline calculations used by the Disclosure Tracking tool to help ensure dates and times are consistent across all the Disclosure Tracking log entries in a loan.

As part of this change, the Disclosure Tracking 2015 Log object in the V3 Loan Schema has been updated. All Date-related attributes (i.e. applicationDate, disclosureCreatedDate, and so on) in the Disclosure Tracking 2015 Log object will be stored in Date-only format (YYYY-MM-DD), without the time or time zone indicator. The time zone for these Date-related attributes will be determined by the value of Encompass field LE1.X9 (Closing Costs Estimate Expiration Time Zone), which is set depending on Encompass settings and calculations.

For details about this change and to learn how it impacts existing and new loans, please refer to the Knowledge Article: Disclosure Tracking Logs & Time Zones (KA-39455).

Assign Loan Officer during Loan Creation using V3 API
With V3 Create Loan API, you can now assign a loan officer at the time of creating the loan. A new query parameter loID has been added so that you can pass the userId of the loan officer.

Endpoint URL:
POST /encompass/v3/loans?loID=< >

Clear BuySide and SellSide Data in Rate Lock Requests
A new query parameter clearEntities has been introduced to the Update Rate Lock request API. In order to clear out an entity, simply pass “buySide” and/ or “sellSide” as the parameter value instead of having to pass every attribute as an empty string in the request payload.

Endpoint URL:
PATCH /encompass/v1/loans/{loanId}/ratelockRequests/{requestId}?clearEntities=<buySide,sellSide>

Services API Enhancements
A new request type 'RequestReportFiles', is being added in this release. Use this request type to retrieve raw XML files for service reports, (such as credit services, Fannie Mae DU and EarlyCheck, and Freddie Mac LPA) after the service order has been completed.

Endpoint URL:
GET /services/v1/partners/{{Service_Partner_ID}}/transactions

NOTE: This requestType is supported for admin and super admin users only.

Fixed Issues

Performance Optimization of Loan Update API Calls
For Calculated Custom Fields configured with Advanced Code including fields referencing the applicationIndex, only custom fields related to the modified applicationIndex will be run, instead of running calculations for all borrower pairs. For example, if CUST01FV has a calculation based on 4000#1 and CUST02FV has a calculation based on 4000#2, and only 4000#2 was updated, only CUST02FV custom field will be recalculated. This will improve the performance of Loan Update API calls, especially when the instance is configured with many custom fields.
EBSP-27952

Milestone Date Calculations
As part of the loan creation process, if you complete a milestone that is after the “File Started” milestone, prior milestone dates were being calculated based on the number of business days configured in the settings. This was resulting in a milestone completion date prior to the loan creation date. With this release, all the prior milestones will be set to the same date as the completed milestone. For example, if the Qualification milestone is marked as completed as part of the loan creation process, and Qualification is configured to take 3 business days, File Started & Qualification milestones will have the same date of completion. This issue has been addressed in V1 and V3 loan creation flows.
EBSP-25537

Populating Loan Originator Fields Based on Instance Policy Settings for URLA 2020 Loans
For an URLA 2020 Loan, v1 and v3 APIs to Create a Loan with an assigned loan officer should populate URLAX.170, URLAX.171, URLAX.172, URLAX.173 and 1612 based on the settings configured in Encompass Admin Settings. If the Interviewer Name is configured to populate LO details, the user's details passed in loId attribute needs to be used to populate the mentioned fields instead of populating the loan starter’s details. This works as expected for 2009 loans, and this defect has been fixed for URLA 2020 Loans.
EBSP-28957

Loan APIs to Honor Persona Access to Loans Business Rules Based on Milestones
An issue was identified with the Loan CRUD APIs where all Persona Access to Loans Business Rules were being applied irrespective of the milestone stage that the loan is in. This issue has been resolved. Business Rules that are configured to be applied based on a given milestone are now applied as expected.
EBSP-28027

Field Data Entry Business Rules with [value] in Advanced Code Run on Saved and New Versions of Loan
There was a parity gap identified between Encompass Smart Client and APIs where the V1 Update Loan API was running Field Data Entry Business rules twice - once only on the request payload and a second time on the new version of the loan file. With this fix, APIs will continue executing the Field Data Entry rules twice – once on the combination of request payload and saved version of the loan, and a second time on the new version of the loan.
EBSP-27074

New and Updated APIs

New Workflow Task Pipeline API
The new Workflow Task Pipeline API is available with this release of Encompass Developer Connect.
The Get Task Pipeline API retrieves a workflow task pipeline. Apply filters to narrow and sort workflow tasks returned in the response.

Endpoint URL: workflow/v1/taskPipeline

Enhancement to Rate Lock API
The Submit Rate Lock API has been enhanced to support the Revise action for a Secondary user. Use action=revise to update existing active and expired locks.

Endpoint URL: /loans/loanId/lockRequests?action=revise&requestId=

Webhook API Update
For customers with Encompass 20.2 instances or higher, the meta.resourceRef URL now points to V3. With this change, the meta.resourceRef URL is returned as /v3/loans/{loanId} instead of /v1/loans/{loanId}.

New Blog Post

A new blog post will be available on the Developer Connect portal about Calculations & Business Rule Execution. It will describe the sequence of events that occur in an API call for evaluating rules and calculations.

Fixed Issues

The Custom Field Format for MonthDay (mm/dd) is Enforced
With this release, the Custom Field - MonthDay format (mm/dd) in the Loan API is enforced. If an incorrect date or date format is passed, the API will return a status code of 400.
EBSP-22646

❗️

Ellie Mae will be replacing the EPPS V1 APIs with our new EPPS V2 APIs. Our EPPS V1 APIs will continue to be supported until Q2 of 2021. We recommend that you start transitioning to the EPPS V2 APIs. For more information about the new EPPS V2 APIs and for migration information, see the Deprecation Notice for EPPS V1.

New V1 Prospect Engagement APIS

The 20.2 January release of Encompass Developer Connect introduces the new Prospect Engagement Invite and Remind APIs. These APIs extend the capabilities of the upcoming Prospect Engagement feature in LO Connect and Velocify to other third-party systems.

📘

About the Prospect Engagement Feature in Velocify Lead Manager and LO Connect

The ICE Mortgage Technology Lending Platform is introducing a new Prospect Engagement feature this year that tightens the integration between Velocify Lead Manager, LO Connect, and Consumer Connect while providing an enhanced experience for prospects, such as leads, opportunities, or potential borrowers. This feature enables LO Connect and Velocify users to Invite these prospects to start a loan application and Remind them to complete an existing loan application in Encompass Consumer Connect. The invitation and reminder notifications sent to prospects include a direct link to their new or existing loan application. The loan applications are pre-populated with data captured by LO Connect or Velocify systems.

The Prospect Engagement feature will be available in Velocify Lead Manager and LO Connect in Q2 of this year.

Use these APIs to generate a link for the consumer that will start a new loan application or resume an existing incomplete loan application. The loan application will contain pre-populated data captured by the client system.

The Prospect Engagement APIs include the following endpoints:

• Invite: Use this API to generate a link to a new Encompass Consumer Connect loan application. The link can be inserted into a customer communication to invite a prospect to start a loan application.
  Endpoint URL: consumer/v1/invitations

• Remind: Use this API to generate a link to an existing incomplete loan application in Encompass Consumer Connect. The link can be inserted into a customer communication to remind a prospect to complete and submit their loan application.
  Endpoint URL: consumer/v1/reminders

Updates to V1 Loan Transformer API

The Loan Transformer API now supports the export of loans to ILAD format.

Endpoint URL: GET /services/v1/transformer?loanid=<>&format=ILAD

  • AdditionalLoans
    Endpoint URL: /v3/loans/{loanId}/applications/{applicationId}/additionalLoans

  • GiftsAndGrants
    Endpoint URL: /v3/loans/{loanId}/applications/{applicationId}/giftsGrants

Fixed Issues

Resolved Issue with Persona Access to Loans Business Rules with Custom Edit Access
An issue existed with Persona Access to Loans business rules that have Custom Edit access to the Lock Request and Profit Management tools. When such business rules were applied to a loan, users with that persona were not allowed to perform create/update operations with the Lock Request or Profit Management tools even though they had Edit Access to these sections.
This issue has been resolved.
EBSP-25775

Resolved Issue that Prevented Super Administrators from Accessing Hidden Fields
An issue existed with field access rules that grant access only to users with the Administrator persona. With this issue, access was restricted to all other personas as expected, however, super administrators were also restricted when using the GetLoan call.
This issue has been resolved and now users with a super administrator persona can access fields where an Administrator persona is required.
EBSP-25726

This API is similar to the loan update-related functions of the Assign Loans API but does not assign new loans to the correspondent trade. The Extend Loans for Correspondent Trade API processes loans that are assigned to the trade. The loans must have an Assigned status. Loans that have not been assigned cannot be extended using the API.

Endpoint URL: /secondary/v1/trades/correspondent/TradeId/loans/extend

New EPPS V2 APIs

🚧

Deprecation Notice - EPPS V1 APIs

Ellie Mae will be deprecating EPPS V1 APIs to make way for our new EPPS V2 APIs. Our EPPS V1 APIs will continue to be supported until Q2 of 2021. We are making the EPPS V2 APIs available with this release to allow developers to get familiar with the APIs while maintaining the existing behavior as the APIs are backward compatible. For more information see the Deprecation Notice for EPPS V1 APIs.

The EPPS APIs are moving to V2. The V1 and V2 APIs are largely the same; however, we have made some changes in the V2 contracts. The most significant change was made to the Get Programs and Rates (/loanQualifier endpoint) and Get Rates (/eligibility endpoint) schemas. The standardProduct contract in these schemas has changed from a hard-coded list of Standard Products to an Array of Product IDs. You can use the Lookups API for Standard Products to get all possible values.

Example array:

“standardProducts": [1,5,2,3,4]

September 20.1 Service Pack

New and Enhanced APIs

V1: New Webhook Event History APIs

The Webhook Event History APIs are being introduced in V1 to provide lender developers with the ability to retrieve webhook events that were triggered on the Lender Platform. Using these APIs, lender developers can query webhook events according to status, time range, event type, event ID, and resource type. These APIs were created to help lender developers reconcile any missed events.

Endpoint URL: /webhook/v1/events/

• Get All Events returns all webhook events that occurred on the Lender Platform. Results can be refined using query parameters.
• Get an Event returns the specified webhook event.

For additional information about the Webhook Event History APIs, check out the 20.1 September blog post, Webhook Best Practices: Event Reconciliation and More

V1: New MISMO 3.4 Export API

New Transformer API is available in this release. It can be used to export URLA 2020 loans in MISMO 3.4 format.

Endpoint URL: /services/v1/transformer?loanId={}&format={}

Enhanced Services

Support for Factual Data by CBC Credit Partner
With this release, the Developer Connect Services API will support ordering and retrieving consumer credit reports from Factual Data by CBC.

Encompass Developer Connect Support for New URLA

A redesigned version of the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA), also known as the Fannie Mae form 1003 or the Freddie Mac form 65, is replacing the 2009 version of the URLA effective March 1, 2021. In addition, a new corresponding MISMO v3.4 dataset a.k.a. the Uniform Loan Application Dataset (ULAD) is also being introduced in conjunction with this newly designed URLA. The URLA is required for lenders to originate loans eligible for sale on the secondary market and to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA).

The redesigned 2020 URLA makes it easier for lenders to collect information required by the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and to incorporate additional application information identified under the URLA/ULAD initiative. The output form has a similar look and feel to the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure forms implemented in 2015 and was designed to provide a better experience for borrowers by providing clear instructions in language that is easy to understand.

Our goal is to ensure that our customers and our software are ready for the upcoming changes. While we cannot advise you on how to manage compliance in your own organization, we can help ensure that you have the tools and resources you need to be ready when the revised regulation takes effect.

Starting with the 20.1 August 2020 Service Pack release, URLA 2020 loan submissions are being supported on Encompass Developer Connect. Loan submissions to GSE-specific AUS production environments using the new URLA 2020 output forms are currently scheduled for January 1, 2021, with a mandatory usage date of March 1, 2021.

June 20.1 Critical Patch

Enforce Persona Access to Loans and Persona Access to Fields Rules on Loan Data Access APIs

Partners using the restricted persona for API access through Encompass Developer Connect will now have restricted access to the loan file based on Encompass Persona Access to Loans and Persona Access to Fields rules. This change is being applied to the V1 Encompass Field Reader only. If the API user’s persona does not have entitlements to a loan file based on the configured rule, the loan will not be returned through any of these APIs. Similarly, if the partner’s configured persona does not have access to view an individual field based on the configured rules, they will not see the field data returned through these APIs.

Please note, this same update to Loan Data Access APIs is planned to be applied for V1 Get Loan in a separate release on Saturday, June 13.
