ACUL Sending custom data on signup

Get Help

Hi

when doing a user signup in ACUL I want to send custom data.

this page has says that I can pass custom data, so I tried this

signupManager.signup({
email: ‘xxxxxx@hotmail.com’,
password: ‘xxxxxxx’,
family_name: ‘my name’,
given_name: ‘my last name’,
company: ‘My company’,
});

but in my pre-user-registration log action when I console.log the event, I don’t see “company”, “family_name” or “given_name” anywhere, only the email

what am I doing wrong here? I see it in the requests form data.

Thanks

Hi @brian_jorgensen,

Thanks for your question.

I have looked through our auth0-acul-js signup() documentation and did not find a way to pass additional data like the family_name, given_name, or company attributes to the signup() method.

This was justified by your experience of only seeing the email attribute when you tried to console.log the event.user object.

Since you are essentially creating a user on their behalf, you could consider using the Authentication API to create the user and pass in the family_name, given_name, and company attributes.

See our /dbconnections/signup endpoint reference on this.

If this does not work for you, then another option might be to use the Management API to either create or update the user.

Let me know how this goes for you.

Thanks,
Rueben

Hi Rueben

To bad, I would have liked to be able to pass custom data that way that then would be added as user_metadata, but ok, if that is not possible than we will create the user as we do today, by using the API you also suggest.

Thanks

Hi @brian_jorgensen I am the Product Manager for ACUL and I wanted to follow up on your question. With the GA release of ACUL you can post additional data as part of the signup method. You can check the ACUL SDK docs React SDK: Signup - Auth0 Docs and JS SDK: Signup - Auth0 Docs to learn more.

adding the `ulp-*` prefix is the key. This tells the server that this is custom data that you want to manage. Under the covers it uses the same server-side logic as Customize Signup & Login Prompts.
