Actions — customize AuthKit behavior in real-time

What's this blog post about?

AuthKit by WorkOS introduces Actions, a feature that allows developers to customize user registration and authentication logic in real-time. Actions enable applications to execute arbitrary logic for allowing or denying user sign-ups or authentications based on specific conditions. This feature is free for all AuthKit customers. When an Action is enabled, WorkOS makes a request to the specified endpoint before completing a sign-up or authentication and waits for the application's response with a verdict: allow or deny. Actions can be configured in the WorkOS dashboard by enabling the Action type, defining an endpoint, and selecting error handling behavior. The feature is currently available for User Registration and Authentication, with plans to expand it to cover more parts of the user lifecycle.
