Auth0 Actions: How to set user_metadata temporary betwen actions

[rueben.tiow]

Hi @npatel,

Thanks for reaching out to the Auth0 Community!

@npatel

Is there a way to save this temporary only for the login session and not forever in user’s user_metadata?

Unfortunately, the api.user.setUserMetadata will save the users’s user_metadata forever.

As an alternative, you could consider resetting the user’s user_metadata by using the Management API update a user endpoint to programmatically reset the user_metadata based on your needs (i.e every few days). With this approach, you’ll have the flexibility to keep and discard any user_metadata values.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.

Thank you.
