Identity-validate event not triggered for users signups with external providers

  • site name: nifty-mcclintock-5552c0.netlify.app
  • Identity level 0

Hello,

I have created an identity-validate function to be notified when a user signs up on our web site (see my previous post here).

It works well when users signs up with email+password: the function is triggered just when the user fills in his email/passord in the signup form.
But when the users sign up with external providers, the function is not triggered.

I tried the two other triggers : identity-signup and identity-login, and I have even less luck with them: whichever signup method used, they are never triggered: The doc says that identity-signup is only triggered for email+password signups, but even in this case, I do not see anny call the function.

Am I missing something? Do I need to configure something more in the site panel ? I went to the settings/Identity, and did not see anything relevant…

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @RickTail,

There are existing threads about it, kindly don’t re-open multiple threads:

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I checked rapidly the forum for such an issue, but I did not go back up to August… I find it quite disappointing to have to dig through the forums to find a solution to an obvious bug on your side. I understand you may not have the resources at one time to fix it, but the issue should be made clear in the documentation, and documented as a known bug (with workaround).
This is not very professional.

Thank you Hillary, I appreciate your concern. As said on my comment, I would rather have a bug free solution before an easy to use solution database :wink: But I work in software product as well, I know the hardships. Keep up the good work.

Hey @RickTail,

I just remembered that you can use Webhooks from Identity settings that can be used for a similar purpose. They work fine for external providers.
