I’d like to send someone a text that with a link to my site that will log them in. And I’d like the link to expire after a certain amount of time. It seems like this is pretty much the same as the magic link that gets sent via the password less email flow, but I want to do it via text. I’ve seen some conversation around similar goals on here, but I’m still struggling to figure out my exact use case. Does anyone know a good way to accomplish this? Thanks, Eli ---

Just to be clear I don’t want the user to have to request this link. I want to send it to them based on a server-side trigger. ---

I’m also looking forward for such feature. AFAIK there isn’t an option to generate such link to include as part of a text that I can send to customers to be authenticated. If you find any alternative please update as this is the only thing missing for me in auth0 and it’s a crucial one ---

Is there any plans of having this feature into the product? ---

Done > [@Enable getting magic link for custom usage](https://community.auth0.com/t/enable-getting-magic-link-for-custom-usage/58196): > > Hi, As passwords become more and more redundant, the industry is moving to find alternatives. Such alternative exists today in Auth0 but it is very limited and not in line with other solutions out there (e.g. [https://swoopnow.com](https://swoopnow.com)) As my business relies on passwordless as its main authentication method, I would like to be able to get a magic link so I can use it when communicating with my customers.
