Auth0 Authentication API webhooks

Auth0 Authentication API webhooks allows you to define webhooks for Auth0's Authentication API. It will go through the audit logs and call a webhook for specific events. This can address use cases like:

I want to be notified each time a user is blocked

I want to be notified each time a login fails

Hosting on Webtask.io

If you haven't configured Webtask on your machine run this first:

npm i -g wt-cli
wt init

Requires at least node 0.10.40 - if you're running multiple version of node make sure to load the right version, e.g. "nvm use 0.10.40"

Deploy as a Webtask Cron

If you want to run it on a schedule (run every 5 minutes for example):

$ npm run build
$ wt cron schedule \
    --name auth0-auth-api-hooks \
    --secret AUTH0_DOMAIN="YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN" \
    --secret AUTH0_GLOBAL_CLIENT_ID="YOUR_AUTH0_GLOBAL_CLIENT_ID" \
    --secret AUTH0_GLOBAL_CLIENT_SECRET="YOUR_AUTH0_GLOBAL_CLIENT_SECRET" \
    --secret LOG_LEVEL="1" \
    --secret LOG_TYPES="s,f" \
    --secret WEBHOOK_URL="http://my.webhook.url/something" \
    --secret WEBHOOK_CONCURRENT_CALLS="10" \
    --json \
    "*/5 * * * *" \
    ../build/bundle.js

You can get your Global Client Id/Secret here: https://auth0.com/docs/api/v1

The following settings are optional:

• LOG_LEVEL: This allows you to specify the log level of events that need to be sent.
• LOG_TYPES: If you only want to send events with a specific type (eg: failed logins). This needs to be a comma separated list.
• WEBHOOK_CONCURRENT_CALLS: Defaults to 5, these are the maximum concurrent calls that will be made to your web hook

How it works

This webtask will process the Auth0 audit logs. Calls to the Authentication API are logged there and will be picked up by the webtask. These will then optionally be filtered will then be sent to your Webhook URL (POST).

Note that, if the URL we are sending the events to is offline or is returning anything that is not 200 OK (eg: Internal Server Error) processing will stop and the batch of logs will be retried in the next run. This means 2 things:

• Logs are sent at least once, so make sure your webhook is idempotent

To test this you could easily setup an endpoint on http://requestb.in/ and use that as a Webhook URL.

Filters

The LOG_LEVEL can be set to (setting it to a value will also send logs of a higher value):

• 1: Debug messages
• 2: Info messages
• 3: Errors
• 4: Critical errors

The LOG_TYPES filter can be set to:

• s: Success Login (level: 1)
• seacft: Success Exchange (level: 1)
• feacft: Failed Exchange (level: 3)
• f: Failed Login (level: 3)
• w: Warnings During Login (level: 2)
• du: Deleted User (level: 1)
• fu: Failed Login (invalid email/username) (level: 3)
• fp: Failed Login (wrong password) (level: 3)
• fc: Failed by Connector (level: 3)
• fco: Failed by CORS (level: 3)
• con: Connector Online (level: 1)
• coff: Connector Offline (level: 3)
• fcpro: Failed Connector Provisioning (level: 4)
• ss: Success Signup (level: 1)
• fs: Failed Signup (level: 3)
• cs: Code Sent (level: 0)
• cls: Code/Link Sent (level: 0)
• sv: Success Verification Email (level: 0)
• fv: Failed Verification Email (level: 0)
• scp: Success Change Password (level: 1)
• fcp: Failed Change Password (level: 3)
• sce: Success Change Email (level: 1)
• fce: Failed Change Email (level: 3)
• scu: Success Change Username (level: 1)
• fcu: Failed Change Username (level: 3)
• scpn: Success Change Phone Number (level: 1)
• fcpn: Failed Change Phone Number (level: 3)
• svr: Success Verification Email Request (level: 0)
• fvr: Failed Verification Email Request (level: 3)
• scpr: Success Change Password Request (level: 0)
• fcpr: Failed Change Password Request (level: 3)
• fn: Failed Sending Notification (level: 3)
• limit_wc: Blocked Account (level: 4)
• limit_ui: Too Many Calls to /userinfo (level: 4)
• api_limit: Rate Limit On API (level: 4)
• sdu: Successful User Deletion (level: 1)
• fdu: Failed User Deletion (level: 3)

So for example, if I want to filter on a few events I would set the LOG_TYPES filter to: sce,fce,scu,fcu.

Auth0

What is Auth0?

Auth0 helps you to:

• Add authentication with multiple authentication sources, either social like Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, amont others, or enterprise identity systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider.
• Add authentication through more traditional username/password databases.
• Add support for linking different user accounts with the same user.
• Support for generating signed Json Web Tokens to call your APIs and flow the user identity securely.
• Analytics of how, when and where users are logging in.
• Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through JavaScript rules.
