Boolean Parsing on Auth0 Flows

Overview

This article explains how to pass a boolean value when adding an HTTP request to an Auth0 Flow. By default, it passes a string in the JSON body instead of a boolean which cannot be handled by an API that requires a Boolean value.

Applies To

  • Flows
  • Boolean

Solution

Use {{ functions.toBoolean( ... ) }}, which is documented in Helper functions | Variables and helper functions.

While it is only documented in the examples that the functions.toBoolean(…) method can parse the integers 0 and 1, the functions.toBoolean(…) call can also parse the following:

  • “true”/ “false” (as strings)
  • 0 / 1 (as integers)
  • “0” / “1” (as strings)
