Explore Triggers
Triggers are points in the Auth0 process where Actions can be added for required customization. Multiple Actions can be placed in a Trigger, executing in sequence. Triggers can be synchronous (blocking) or asynchronous (non-blocking). Each trigger has specific Objects and APIs. They may differ based on your connection (such as passwordless connection).
To explore reference Objects and APIs for specific Actions for a trigger, select the trigger below, noting Auth0's definition of a passwordless connection.
