March 2026 focused on delivering V3 Form Endpoint enhancements and reliability improvements across email notifications and DigiD OIDC error handling. Key commits underpinning the work included 0f2b224cb7f553d0e46d542aeb2cb5b8f672259d, aef21cc32ce797181efaf6a1fe2a051671d91426, 96ed4a855e13ddbda170d2a6eb4355979485f510, 9547bf742e319a3dd57568694b256f755af090b0, and 39b2d8ce5c5a9ebca371f12043b2515046b5337d. These changes implement: (1) confirmation_email_template on the v3 form endpoint, (2) registration_backends support for multiple registration backends, and (3) payment-related fields for forms on the v3 endpoint; (4) prevention of duplicate email notifications when payment status updates occur without configured email addresses; and (5) improved DigiD OIDC error handling by mapping Signicat error codes to Open Forms error codes to better report user cancellations. Business impact includes improved customer communications, flexible backend integration, reduced duplicate notifications, clearer error reporting, and a smoother user journey with lower support load.
