Problem statement
Using extensibility to write metadata before registration with a passwordless connection doesn’t work.
Symptoms
The user is registered, and the metadata is empty.
Steps to reproduce
- Pre-registration Action / Hook to set the metadata
- Sign up
- Check the user’s metadata
Troubleshooting
Check if the pre-registration Action / Hook is executed (debug with console or webhook message/log).
Cause
With Passwordless connections, it is not supported to use the pre-registration Action because it works differently than with the other connection types.
Solution
To add the metadata for this connection type, you must use a Post-Login Action. You can also add a condition to check in a Post Login Action to filter whether the connection is passwordless so it’s not executed with others by filtering the objects within the event.authentication.methods array with this structure:
[{name: "sms" | name:"email"}]
