In most cases, you will want to handle user signup in one of two ways:
Manually create users to allow them access to your Frontly apps
Allow users to sign up on their own at the /signup link in your app
For more advanced cases that involve external platforms and automations, Frontly has a 'Create User' webhook that can be enabled to allow automated user registration, triggered by an external action in a third-party platform.
Configuration
Webhook base URL (POST):
Required POST body parameters:
api_key
The Frontly-generated unique API Key for your organization. Can be found on the Settings page in the Advanced section.
subdomain
The Frontly subdomain of the app you are creating a user in
The email of the new user to create
password
The password of the new user to create
Password Validation Measures:
Must be at least 8 characters long.
Must be unique and not too similar to your personal information (e.g., username or email).
Cannot be a 'Commonly used' password
Cannot solely consist of numbers
Other Fields
Other fields available are first_name, last_name, and any custom user fields you've created in your Frontly admin.
How To Use the Webhook
Reminder: This is an advanced feature, which requires the understanding of APIs and HTTP Requests. Frontly cannot provide direct support / assistance for API request setup in third-party platforms.
To use the webhook, you simply need to make a POST request from a third-party platform to the webhook URL provided above, including the required parameters.
If successful, you will receive a response object with the new user data.
If unsuccessful, you will receive a 400 error.
