rp_st
09/29/2023, 10:14 AMwe have an example app that kind of show cases this.

09/29/2023, 10:17 AMSo first, you want to override the signinup API to make the current user a primary one, if it's a sign up.
Then for connecting telegram accounts, you can implement an API like this: https://github.com/supertokens/supertokens-auth-react/tree/master/examples/with-account-linking
where this APi is called on the callback screen of telegram, and in this, you manually do the code excahnge, and then link the account with the session's account.

09/29/2023, 10:20 AMexactly! so for this use case (connect post login) the right way is overriding signInUp function on the backend.
Thank you very much

09/29/2023, 10:41 AMSorry again, but it seems that Account Linking feature is not enable for my app (I am using dev env of managed service) and function createPrimaryUser threw error. Do I have to send an email about it?

rp_st
09/29/2023, 10:44 AMYou can generate the license key via the button on the dashboard
rp_st
09/29/2023, 10:44 AMAnd that will send you an email with the license key. Which you can add to your Dev instance
