I then need to unclude that tenent.id in the magic link url so that if a user clicks the link from the email the frontend can then display the correct branding..

06/09/2022, 5:02 PMHmm. So that’s possible as well
rp_st
06/09/2022, 5:03 PMSince you have to send the link email yourself anyway, you can modify the link however you like (for example by adding a relevant query param to it)
rp_st
06/09/2022, 5:03 PMAnd then have the frontend read the link’s query param to show the right branding

pitchash
06/09/2022, 5:04 PMsure.. i can modify the link... how does the frontend pass extra params on the auth/signinup/code api call?
r
rp_st
06/09/2022, 5:04 PMThere are pre API hooks we have which alllw you to modify the request being sent

06/09/2022, 5:04 PMGive me a moment

06/09/2022, 5:05 PMrp_st
06/09/2022, 5:05 PMSo you wanna modify the create_code and resend_code request
rp_st
06/09/2022, 5:06 PMFinally, on the backend, you will have to override the create code api, read the custom attribute from the input body, and set it in the userContext object (before calling the original implementation)
rp_st
06/09/2022, 5:07 PMThe modified userContext object will then be available in the function to send the email - in which you can modify the link

06/09/2022, 5:09 PMperfect thanks
pitchash
06/09/2022, 5:16 PMSorry one more question.. once I get the frontend hook to override the api call.. I can add additional params along with the email in the request body... which backend function / method would I need to override to extract this and ensure its added to the context?
r
rp_st
06/09/2022, 5:18 PMIn passwordless.init > override > apis > createCodePOST and resendCodePOST
p
pitchash
06/09/2022, 5:23 PMok.. i could get it from the options.req.body I think
r
rp_st
06/09/2022, 5:23 PMAwait Options.req.getJSONBody() (I think that’s the name of the function).
