The Authenticate Discovery Magic Link method wraps the authenticate discovery magic link API endpoint, which validates the discovery magic link token passed in.
If this method succeeds, the intermediate session token will be persisted on device.
Authenticate discovery magic link
Method parameters
discovery_magic_links_token* string
The Discovery Email Magic Link token to authenticate.
Response fields
request_id string
Globally unique UUID that is returned with every API call. This value is important to log for debugging purposes; we may ask for this value to help identify a specific API call when helping you debug an issue.
status_code int
The HTTP status code of the response. Stytch follows standard HTTP response status code patterns, e.g. 2XX values equate to success, 3XX values are redirects, 4XX are client errors, and 5XX are server errors.
intermediate_session_token string
The Intermediate Session Token. This token does not necessarily belong to a specific instance of a Member, but represents a bag of factors that may be converted to a member session. The token can be used with the OTP SMS Authenticate endpoint, TOTP Authenticate endpoint, or Recovery Codes Recover endpoint to complete an MFA flow and log in to the Organization. The token has a default expiry of 10 minutes. It can also be used with the Exchange Intermediate Session endpoint to join a specific Organization that allows the factors represented by the intermediate session token; or the Create Organization via Discovery endpoint to create a new Organization and Member. Intermediate Session Tokens have a default expiry of 10 minutes.
email_address string
The email address.
discovered_organizations array
An array of discovered_organization objects tied to the intermediate_session_token, session_token, or session_jwt. See the Discovered Organization Object for complete details.
Note that Organizations will only appear here under any of the following conditions:
The end user is already a Member of the Organization.
The end user is invited to the Organization.
The end user can join the Organization because:
a) The Organization allows JIT provisioning.
b) The Organizations' allowed domains list contains the Member's email domain.
c) The Organization has at least one other Member with a verified email address with the same domain as the end user (to prevent phishing attacks).

Directly assigned roles can be updated by passing in the roles argument to the Update Member endpoint. email_assignment – an implicit Role granted by the Member's email domain, regardless of their login method.
Email implicit role assignments can be updated by passing in the rbac_email_implicit_role_assignments argument to the Update Organization endpoint. sso_connection – an implicit Role granted by the Member's SSO connection. This is currently only available for SAML connections and not for OIDC. If the Member has a SAML Member registration with the given connection, this role assignment will appear in the list.

SAML connection implicit role assignments can be updated by passing in the saml_connection_implicit_role_assignments argument to the Update SAML connection endpoint. sso_connection_group – an implicit Role granted by the Member's SSO connection and group. This is currently only available for SAML connections and not for OIDC. If the Member has a SAML Member registration with the given connection, and belongs to a specific group within the IdP, this role assignment will appear in the list. However, for authorization check purposes (in sessions authenticate or in any endpoint that enforces RBAC with session headers), the Member will only be granted the role if their session contains an authentication factor with the specified SAML connection.
SAML group implicit role assignments can be updated by passing in the saml_group_implicit_role_assignments argument to the Update SAML connection endpoint.
