App

The phrase "Auth0 post" is often interpreted as either an Auth0 Post-Login Action (a piece of code) or a blog post (content).

Here are prompts for both:

1. Prompt for an Auth0 Post-Login Action (Code)

Goal: Automatic User Profile Enrichment

Scenario: Your application requires certain user metadata (like a custom loyalty_tier or an internal employee_id) to be present in the user's Auth0 profile before they can access a specific area of your app. This data is stored in an external company database.

Prompt:

"Write the JavaScript code for an Auth0 Post-Login Action that performs the following steps:

  1. It checks if the user's current Auth0 profile (user.app_metadata) contains a key called is_data_synced.
  2. If is_data_synced is not present or is false, it makes an asynchronous call (using api.fetch) to a hypothetical external API endpoint (https://api.internal-db.com/user-data?id=${user.user_id}).
  3. Upon receiving a successful response from the external API, it updates the Auth0 user's app_metadata to include the fetched data (e.g., loyalty_tier: 'Gold') and sets is_data_synced to true.
  4. If the external API call fails, the Action should simply log an error but allow the login to proceed.

Provide the complete onExecutePostLogin function."


2. Prompt for an Auth0 Blog Post (Content)

Goal: Generating a technical article.

Prompt:

"Generate a detailed, step-by-step blog post titled: 'The Power of POST: Securely Exchanging the Authorization Code for Tokens in Auth0.'

Your post should cover:

  1. An introduction to why the token exchange must be a POST request (server-side) instead of a GET request.
  2. A clear explanation of the three critical parameters included in the POST request body (grant_type, client_id, client_secret, and code).
  3. The structure of the JSON response returned by the /oauth/token endpoint (focusing on id_token and access_token).
  4. A concise code example (using Python or Node.js) demonstrating the server-side POST request."
