If you missed the live online event, don’t worry! Here’s a quick summary of key highlights and takeaways. You can also explore all the detailed questions and answers in the Forms for Actions Discussion Thread.
Before we dive into the AMA event summary, we want to express our gratitude for your enthusiasm and thoughtful questions. As a token of our appreciation, we have awarded all participants a special community badge!
Top 5 Highlights
Setup and Configuration
-
Common Setup Issues: When setting up the connection to Auth0, ensure you use the correct app and credentials. A Machine-2-Machine application with the right scopes is necessary.
-
Pricing: Forms for Actions are included in all pricing tiers, including free plans.
Use Cases and Flow Control
-
Post-Login Flow Support: Currently, Forms for Actions only support the post-login flow.
-
Email Confirmation: To force email confirmation during login, add logic in the onExecutePostLogin or onContinuePostLogin methods to force email verification depending on the value of the email_verified property.
-
Customization and Flexibility
-
Email OTP Verification template: If the predefined “Email OTP verification” form fails, ensure the reference value is correctly set. The debugger will also help you understand what’s failing.
Compatibility and Enhancements
- Web-Only Application: Forms for Actions are currently designed only for web-based applications.
- Logout Functionality: While there’s no built-in logout feature in forms, the Sessions API can help users revoke user’s sessions.
Feature Requests & Roadmap
- Extended Trigger Support: Future updates will support triggers beyond post-login, including password-reset-post-challenge.
- More Components TypesSupport: Enhancements will include dynamic content in dropdowns and components for adding images/logos.
