I now have a working action that does the account linking. Works pretty good, so I will recommended using an action. Because of some logging limitations in auth0 custom actions, I have decided to move the actual code to a server-function we host, and then let the action call this endpoint.

If requested, I can add specific code snippets, but the most important part is to use the mgmt API to link the users, and then return the “new” primary user like this:

event.user = primaryUserAfterAccountLink;
return {
  user: primaryUserAfterAccountLink
}
