Action says Deployed but Was Not Executed

Overview

This article explains why an Action in the Auth0 Management Dashboard will show as Deployed but was not executed for a trigger (for example, when a user logs in or signs up).

Applies To

  • Actions

Cause

The term Deployed in Action does not necessarily mean that it is attached to a trigger. Deployed means a version of the Action has been created that is available for use by the Actions pipeline.

  • If an Action not attached to a trigger is deployed, it will not execute until you bind it to a trigger.
  • If the Action is already attached to a trigger (for example, Post-Login), that trigger will now start using the newly deployed version.
  • If an Action already ‘attached’ to a trigger is deployed, it is ready to execute.

Solution

Make sure to attach the Action to the appropriate trigger. To do this, go to Actions > Triggers in the Auth0 dashboard and select the trigger. Drag the Action from the left sidebar to the flow and click Apply to deploy it in the trigger.
