Auth0

Step-by-step guide to ingest your event data from Auth0 into RudderStack.

Auth0 is a popular solution used by many companies to add authentication and authorization services to their applications. You can connect Auth0 to your application with just a few lines of code and also define the identity providers, i.e., how you want the users to log in.

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.

This guide will help you set up Auth0 as a source in 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=1bCenS7ynqHh8ETX8s5Crjh22J

For more information on the data plane URL, refer to this section.

Make sure you add the source write key as query parameter to the URL. This is required to prevent the webhook from failing because of an invalid write key.

Then, 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.

Refer to the Auth0 documentation for more information on troubleshooting your webhook.
