Is there any global variable that can be used in Rules and can be updated?

Hi Auth0 team,

I want to make a counter to count number of login based on certain email groups. However, I don’t know where to store this value.

I guess its very similar to this question: How to update configuration object value in rules

However, I don’t want the information to be bound to the user. Is there any way to do it?

Thank you

Hi @andre.hermanto93,

There isn’t a feature that will be able to do this right out of the box. If you will, please submit a feedback ticket with this as a feature request.

In the meant time, you could use an external API to build this out. Check out this FAQ I just wrote:

How do I call my API from a rule?

Question: How do I call my API from a rule? Answer: To do this, you will need to configure your rule to make an API call. You can add Machine 2 Machine (M2M) authorization between your the rule and the your target API, just like you would between any two non-interactive clients, protecting the transaction with Auth0. First, register your API. This can be done via the Dashboard or the Management API. In the Dashboard, navigate to APIs → + Create API. Here you can set up your API, register you…

Hope this helps!
