It’s called in two cases:
- Push provisioning - this is usually done within issuers own application and card holder does not need to enter any information. Then the different endpoints for push provisioning must be used.
- In-app activation - activating a card by manually adding information, then endpoint for generate activation data must be used after authentication of end customer is completed.
In above case the difference between push provisioning and in-app activation is which endpoint that is called in step 3. Note that diagram above is a simplification of full flow in order to explain it from a developer point of view.
