Hi there!

Is it possible to access secrets in Actions outside of onExecutePostLogin function definition? Inside the function we can access a secret by calling event.secrets.

Currently we initialize a client inside the function but that seems to be triggered on each user login (it’s a Login flow action). I want to move the client initialization outside but it requires reading the secrets.

Thanks!

There are few ways you can achieve this:

  1. pass the secret value to the function as a parameter.
  2. use global variables and assign the secret value at the beginning (not recommended)

I hope it helps. :slight_smile:

We initialize a third-party service client inside of onExecutePostLogin and it’s being initialized on each user login which might exceed the rate limit. I guess option number 1 is only one to go with but we would need to use api.cache.

We initialize this client in multiple actions. Is there a way in Auth0 to reuse some piece of code logic across multiple actions?
