I want to log the user in from the backend. I use the “sign the user up” or “log the user in” workflow in the backend workflows but it does nothing (only creates the user but no login). Anyone got a workaround?

I give you 3 way to authenticate the user with this oAuth2 A) I recommend using API Connector user-agent flow B) If not possible, use Bubble auth and add manually oAuth2 connection C) If not possible, do what you are doing and for password, use somenthing related to the user that you an fetch usi…

What is the end goal? You can do an auth workflow like described here: As a User | Bubble Docs To get auth token that you can use in DATA or API Workflow to run it as the user. However, if you are sending the request from Bubble frontend using Schedule API Workflow… if the user is authenticated, …

@Jici thanks, I have a slack sign-in api call (I use the api connector since with the plugin I would need to ask the users for extra slack permission that I dont want to do) from which I get the slack user id. then in the backend, since there is no actual password that the user entered I do: assign…

How do you make the request to the backend WF? If this is from a Schedule API WF action, this is not an issue.

@Jici user is redirected to the “redirect url” in my app and then, with the code in the url, I schedule the api workflow. but, this does not login my user. I also tried a click button → schedule api workflow = log the user in, but this does not log the user in

Not sure what you are trying to do here. Can you explain and maybe post some screenshot? Are you trying to oAuth2 the user manually?

If user successfully signs in with Slack, I want to sign up/login that user in my bubble app. But, since a user will not have a password, everytime the user signs in I assign new password to user and then log the user in. [image]

Why not to use Bubble API Connector user-agent flow? [image] Sign in with Slack setup Our OAuth-based sign-in flow uses the OpenID Connect protocol to let users sign into your service using Slack. Bubble will create a user for you with that. Because honestly…

Thanks, Yes, I understand, but in the process you mentioned wouldn’t then the password (access token) be saved in the user session and thus sort of “not so private” (which is what I wanted to avoid by doing everything in the backend).

It doesn’t change anything to do it in browser or backend WF as the get token call and signup action are processed server side anyway. The oAuth2 process is made for that.

thanks @Jici. I think you convinced me to try the oauth2 route. I wrote a new topic on that.
