Outside Authentication

Hello!

I have a funnel that leads to paid access to my app outside of the appstore. We gather name, email & password, sending it to adalo via zapier. We’re seeing that users cannot log in with the password they chose.

How can we authenticate people? I see magic link is not an option. What are the alternatives?
Has anyone successfully authenticated users outside of the registration form in adalo?

Hi @llgholdings,

It seems you’re mixing 2 things here: setting password for new users (as you say they can’t log in) and authenticating users in Adalo.

In regards to the password setting - as far as I know there shouldn’t be an issue with creating a new user in Users collection in Adalo, with some password. This is done via Collections API. If you see an issue (and I think Zapier can only use Adalo Collections API to connect to Adalo), then you can try creating user manually using Postman or curl, and see if you can authenticate in Adalo using the email and password you’ve provided.

As for authentication, the only way to authenticate in Adalo is to do it in Adalo app itself. There are actions User Log In or User Sign Up, which can log in a user to the app. The only other options are log in with Apple / Google, or Xano integration.

Best,
Victor.
