Magic Link > Check if email in user database > if no/yes

Hi everyone.

Curious if something like this exists and, if so, what the ideal workflow structure is?

I’m prioritizing a password-less login — so using magic links. When a user clicks the button that triggers my magic link workflow, I want there to be a conditional check.

Current state:

User enters email:
User clicks button to trigger workflow:
User is navigated to a ‘magic link sent’ page
User has email sent to their inbox

Ideal state:

User enters email:
User clicks button to trigger workflow:
System checks if email entered is within user data base
If no > present error alert
If yes > proceed w/ user navigation & email flow

TIA!

Yes, you can do this. Regarding:

matt65:

System checks if email entered is within user data base

Ideally, do this on a backend workflow cause you wouldn’t want to Do a search for emails on the client at the risk of unauthorized access

matt65:

If no > present error alert

If yes > proceed w/ user navigation & email flow

This state can be returned from the backend WF itself then
