Magic Link (with Sendgrid) is here!

Michael Udinski

Hi everyone!

We have released our Magic Link with Sendgrid marketplace extension. This extension allows your users to authenticate to your app without needing a password. We've integrated it with Sendgrid to send a magic link to your user upon request, which they can click, navigate back to your app per your specified redirect URI, and complete authentication.

This tutorial is on the marketplace page for Magic Link but you can also view it here.

Quick question: does it need an existing user in DB to be able to use magic link, or user can register with magic link too?

Prakash Chandran

the way this template is set up you will need an existing user, but it’s definitely possible to modify the sign up api endpoint to use the magic link function included in the marketplace!

Bhanu Vadlakonda

sure. Will try that.

But if the template can include the signup endpoint as well, much beneficial for newbies to get going quickly without worrying about the additional setup.

Prakash Chandran

 Good suggestion. we'll look into add that and updating the template!

@michael @prakash is this still working in 2023 ?

Cause token added in redirect_uri?token=xxx is not valid…

Thus we cannot login the user…

Anything related to the jwt secret to change ?

@stephane the extension appears to be working fine. Can you provide more details on your issue for troubleshooting or have you contacted support yet?
