Update Hooks

You can update Hooks configured for any given extensibility point using the Dashboard or Management API.

Hooks may also be imported and exported using the Deploy Command-Line Interface (CLI) Tool.

Optionally, you can add secrets (such as Twilio Keys or database connection strings) to Hooks.

Navigate to the Hooks page in the Auth0 Dashboard, and click the gear icon next to the Hook you want to rename.
Select Rename.
Enter the current name and new name of the hook, then click Rename.

Under Auth Pipeline, navigate to the Hooks page in the Auth0 Dashboard, and click the pencil icon next to the Hook you want to update.
Update the Hook using the Hook Editor, and click the disk icon to save.

Make a PATCH call to the Update a Hook endpoint. Be sure to replace HOOK_ID and MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN placeholder values with your hook ID and Management API Access Token, respectively.

Value	Description
`HOOK_ID`	ID of the hook to be updated.
`MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Access Tokens for the Management API with the scope `update:hooks`.
`HOOK_NAME`	Name of the hook you would like to create.
`HOOK_SCRIPT`	Script that contains the code for the hook. Should match what you would enter if you were creating a new hook using the Dashboard.

The enabled property represents whether the rule is enabled (true) or disabled (false).

Handle Rate Limits when calling APIs from within Hooks

If you call Auth0 APIs from within a Hook's script, you will need to handle rate limits. To do so, check the X-RateLimit-Remaining header and act appropriately when the number returned nears 0.

Additionally, add logic to handle cases in which you exceed the provided rate limits and receive the 429 HTTP Status Code (Too Many Requests). In this case, if a re-try is needed, it is best to allow for a back-off to avoid going into an infinite retry loop.
