Building auth workflows with Clerk and Inngest
The article discusses how to use Clerk's webhooks in conjunction with Inngest functions. It explains that Clerk's webhooks allow applications to react asynchronously to changes, such as user creation events. By using the new integration between Svix and Inngest, developers can easily connect their Clerk account to Inngest and start receiving all selected Clerk events within their Inngest account. The article highlights several benefits of using Inngest for webhooks, including managing concurrency, fan-out events to multiple functions, creating complex workflows, and delaying tasks. It also provides examples of how to create Inngest functions triggered by Clerk events, such as sending welcome emails or starting trials in Stripe. The author encourages readers to explore the possibilities offered by combining Clerk and Inngest for their applications.
