# LexisNexis OTP Sender node

The LexisNexis One-Time Password (OTP) Sender node displays a list of available methods to send an OTP code. This supports sending OTP over email, SMS, and voice. The choice of OTP delivery method depends upon:

* Whether the capability is activated in the node

* If the necessary attribute is available in the user directory for the user

## Example

Read the [Example LexisNexis OTP journey](lexis-otp.html#lexis-otp-example).

## Availability

| Product                               | Available? |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud       | Yes        |
| PingAM (self-managed)                 | Yes        |
| Ping Identity Platform (self-managed) | Yes        |

## Inputs

The [LexisNexis OTP Sender node](lexis-otp-sender.html) reads the `username` from shared state.

Implement a [Platform Username node](../platform-username.html) earlier in the journey.

During the journey, the node queries the user directory with the username to fetch the attributes required by subsequent nodes in the journey.

## Dependencies

To use this node, you should have already set up PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud integration with the LexisNexis service.

## Outputs

In case of an `Error` outcome, the error message is output to the shared state.

## Outcomes

* `Success`

  The OTP code was successfully generated for the user. OTP generation does not guarantee delivery to the user's device. The LexisNexis OTP Collector node allows for retry if the user does not receive the OTP.

* `None Available`

  No OTP delivery methods are available because the required attributes required are not configured for that user.

* `API Error`

  There is an issue with the API request, such as a network timeout, or the service is unavailable.

* `OTP Fail`

  The API request is rejected by the LexisNexis DDP authentication hub. The actual error code is logged in the debug log for the node.

* `Error`

  There is an integration error or a new bug is discovered. Check the debug log files for any integration issues.

## Troubleshooting

If this node logs an error, review the log messages to find the reason for the error. If the configuration looks accurate, then open a support case with LexisNexis.
