Instead of manually submitting engagement details, your systems can create engagements, upload mortgage documents, and track the status of every closing — all through a single GraphQL API. With the Lender API, you can:
  1. **Create engagements** — Submit new purchase and refinance files to Ownright directly from your loan origination system.
  2. **Track engagement status** — Monitor the progress of every closing from received through to funded and closed.
  3. **Upload documents** — Securely attach mortgage commitment letters and other documents using the staged file upload flow.
  4. **Manage your team** — Retrieve your team members and assign ownership of engagements to the right people.
