Migrating account linking from actions to rule

[rhuan.carvalho]

I’ve read several posts and read the documentation and I didn’t understand what the await getManagementApiToken(event, api) function would be; which is in the documentation.
There’s no explanation for anything. There are variables without any type of comment… Could someone explain it to me?

Hi @rhuan.carvalho,

The getManagementApiToken(event, api) is a function used to generate an access token to be used against the Management API.

The following piece of code should initialize an instance of the Management API:

// Get Management API Token
const token = await getManagementApiToken(event, API);
// Set the domain from Secrets
const domain = event.secrets.TENANT_DOMAIN;
// Initialize a new Management Client instance
const management = new ManagementClient({ domain, token });

Thanks,
Rueben

Hi @rhuan.carvalho,

Thanks for the reply.

I have reviewed the code snippet again and found that the correct method to get an access token is management.getAccessToken().

With that, I have shared a working code snippet below on initializing an instance of the Management API.

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  const ManagementClient = require('auth0').ManagementClient;

  const management = new ManagementClient({
      domain: event.secrets.domain,
      clientId: event.secrets.client_id,
      clientSecret: event.secrets.client_secret,
  });

  const token = await management.getAccessToken();

}

From here, you can proceed with the rest of the account linking logic.

I also recommend checking out this knowledge solution as a reference.

Thanks,
Rueben
