Hey there @mmdanish !

You should be able to call your own API from an action to get/set the metadata - The following may help:

How do I call my API from an Action?

Hey, So I’m in the process of trying to add a user to my database using an API call from a “Post User Registration” Action. I have followed this blog post here: and seem to have everything looking good. On top of that when I run the test it says the action was successful. The only problem is that my API is not being called at all even though I have triple checked that the URL is correct.

Hey @mmdanish I apologize for the delayed response here.

I’m not sure I understand your question - There are a couple examples of what it might look to call an external API from an Action in the thread I shared. It’s more or less the same idea as calling an API from within a rule. The basics are:

• Make sure your API is registered in Auth0.
• Create a m2m app in Auth0 authorized to call your API.
• Use these credentials to get an access token in the Action.
• Use a library such as axios to interact with your API.
• Assign user_metadata using the Actions API object - api.user.setUserMetadata(name, value)

Hope this helps!
