Is it possible to do this using our post login action? From what I can tell we only have access to setUserMetadata or setAppMetadata

Yes, however it’s not exactly straightforward considering it requires using a Management API Access Token to update a user’s name.

Question: How can I enable users to change their email address from a SPA or native app? Answer: Public clients (like SPAs and native applications) are restricted from requesting tokens for the management API with the proper scopes for updating a user’s email.

This could be a serverless function with the sole purpose…

Hope this helps!
