Auth0 is a popular solution used by many companies to add authentication and authorization services to their applications. You can now send login and signup-related events to RudderStack whenever Auth0 generates an authentication log by adding an Auth0 Authentication API webhook extension that points to RudderStack.
Getting started
Follow these steps to set up your Auth0 source in the RudderStack dashboard:
- Go to your RudderStack dashboard and click on Add Source. Then, select Auth0 from the list of Event Stream sources, as shown:
- Assign a name to your source and click on Next.
- Your Auth0 source is now configured. Note the source Write key - this will be required to configure the endpoint URL in the following steps.
- Head over to your Auth0 account and navigate to the Extensions page from the sidebar.
- Look for the extension Auth0 Authentication API webhooks, as shown:
- After selecting this option, you should be able to see the extension installation page, as shown:
- At the bottom, select the LOG_TYPES option for which you want to forward the events to RudderStack.
- Add the WEBHOOK_URL as shown on the source settings page in your RudderStack dashboard.
The webhook URL is of the following format:
<DATA_PLANE_URL>/v1/webhook?writeKey=<WRITE_KEY>A sample webhook URL is shown below:
https://hosted.rudderlabs.com/v1/webhook?writeKey=1bCenS7ynqHh8ETX8s5Crjh22JThen, continue with the rest of the steps as listed below:
- Keep the authorization section as blank.
- You can disable the SEND_AS_BATCH setting to receive the events in separate requests. However, we recommend setting it to Enabled.
- Finally click on INSTALL to install the webhook on your Auth0 dashboard.
Event transformation
The Auth0 webhook events are ingested into RudderStack after converting them in a RudderStack event format. The user_id set by Auth0 is converted to userId.
The following table lists the properties populated from the Auth0 event payload directly to the RudderStack event:
| Auth0 Property | RudderStack Property |
|---|---|
client_id | properties.client_id |
client_name | properties.client_name |
details | properties.details NOTE: These are the unmodified details sent by Auth0. |
auth0_client | properties.auth0_client |
log_id | properties.log_id |
isMobile | properties.is_mobile |
description | properties.description |
ip | context.request_ip |
details.auth.user.email | context.traits.email |
details.auth.user.name | context.traits.name |
user_name | context.traits.user_name |
user_agent | context.userAgent |
Debugging
If you're unable to see any events flowing from the Auth0 API webhooks to RudderStack, you can troubleshoot the issue by viewing the API webhooks logs. To do so, go to your Auth0 dashboard and navigate to Monitoring - Logs.
