email_address* string
The email address of the Member.
discovery_redirect_url string
The URL that the end user clicks from the discovery Magic Link. This URL should be an endpoint in the backend server that verifies the request by querying Stytch's discovery authenticate endpoint and continues the flow. If this value is not passed, the default discovery redirect URL that you set in your Dashboard is used. If you have not set a default discovery redirect URL, an error is returned.
pkce_code_challenge string
A base64url encoded SHA256 hash of a one time secret used to validate that the request starts and ends on the same device.
login_template_id string
Use a custom template for discovery emails. By default, it will use your default email template. The template must be from Stytch's built-in customizations or a custom HTML email for Magic Links - Login.
locale string
Used to determine which language to use when sending the user this delivery method. Parameter is a IETF BCP 47 language tag, e.g. "en".
Currently supported languages are English ("en"), Spanish ("es"), French ("fr") and Brazilian Portuguese ("pt-br"); if no value is provided, the copy defaults to English.
Request support for additional languages here!
discovery_expiration_minutes int
The expiration time, in minutes, for an discovery magic link email. If not accepted within this time frame, the email will need to be resent. Defaults to 60 (1 hour) with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10080 (1 week).
