Hey <@498057949541826571> I am using ThirdPartyPasswordless recipe, I am overiding createCodePOST, to check if the user exists in my db, otherwise I am creating a new user. If the user exists then I simply want to show the OTP screen, if the user doesn't exist, I'll create the user in my db, and I want to log in the user automatically(skipping the otp screen step). Can you help me out with this?

hey <@338334189634060300> yea. So which part of the flow do you need help with?

"I want to log in the user automatically"

Need to log in the user/create session for the new user programattically

`createCodePOST: async (input:
            { userContext: { request: any; }; options: { req: { original: any; }; }; }) => {
              // eslint-disable-next-line no-param-reassign
              
              if(newUser) {
                //do some logic
                // login the user/create session automatically.
              }
              return originalImplementation.createCodePOST(input);
            },`

So to know if a user already exists, you can get the input.email and query the recipe using `getUserByEmail`. If that returns undefined, it means the user deos not exist.

I need help with logging the user programatically, bypassing the input otp screen. <@498057949541826571>

if the user exists, then you can essentially, call the `await Session.createNewSession` function with the user's ID and the response object. You can return some fake API response which conforms with the return type of the function

Ok yeah awesome, i think await Session.createNewSession this solves it.

<@498057949541826571> "user's ID and the response object. "  where to get this res object?

await Session.createNewSession(res, userId);
