Auth0 password change with actions

Help

Hello,

I found a solution for the problem, but it is for hooks (Sending password change email instead of verification email for a new user - #3 by stephanie.chamblee).
Is there one for actions?

I adjusted the hook code to the actions version but get the following error messag:

Test Results
Error:
{
  "message": "authClient.requestChangePasswordEmail is not a function",
  "name": "TypeError",
  "stack": "TypeError: authClient.requestChangePasswordEmail is not a function\n    at exports.onExecutePostUserRegistration (/data/io/node18-actions/eb0226ed-9d75-4aab-938f-39324a6ea7de/webtask.js:20:14)\n    at /data/io/0c8366ec199636bd5aa9715551a2d91fb6316755.js:7:907\n    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)"
}

Kind regards,

I am experiencing the same issue with what should be very basic code. What are we missing???

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event) => {
if (event.user.email !== undefined) {
    const auth0 = require('auth0');
    const authClient = new auth0.AuthenticationClient({
      domain: event.secrets.domain,
      clientId: event.secrets.clientId
    });

  const userAndConnection = {
      email: event.user.email,
      connection: 'Username-Password-Authentication'
    };

  // Send password change email
    await authClient.requestChangePasswordEmail(userAndConnection, (err) => {
      
      })
  }
};

Hello there,

I am facing the exact same issue and did not find a solution to this so far. @simon.paris or @adminiot were you able to figure this out?

Any help would be highly appreciated!

@konrad.sopala - not helpful. This response is getting pushed into every Actions-related thread, but doing nothing to answer any of the questions posted in your community. This is quickly diluting the usefulness of these forums.

We solved it like this:

exports.onExecutePostUserRegistration = async(event, api) => {

    var axios = require("axios").default;

    var options = {
        method: 'POST',
        url: 'https://' + event.secrets.DOMAIN + '/dbconnections/change_password',
        headers: {
            'content-type': 'application/json'
        },
        data: {
            client_id: event.secrets.CLIENT_ID,
            email: event.user.email,
            connection: 'Username-Password-Authentication'
        }
    };

    axios.request(options).then(function (response) {
        console.log(response.data);
    }).catch(function (error) {
        console.error(error);
    });
};```

And disabled the verification email.

@adminiot If you don’t mind I will attach Stackoverflow Thread as well here. Full answer can approach via this link → node.js - How to send password change email instead of verification email for a new user in Auth0 in 2024 - Stack Overflow
