Email Magic Links

The React Native SDK provides methods to send and authenticate magic links that you can connect to your own UI. Use these to quickly get up and running with magic links.

Methods

The SDK provides methods that can be used to send magic links and authenticate tokens in the links later.

To call these methods, Email Magic Links must be enabled in the SDK Configuration page of the Stytch dashboard.

Login or signup

The Login or signup method wraps the login or signup Email Magic Link API endpoint.

Method parameters

organization_id* string
email_address* string
login_redirect_url string
signup_redirect_url string
login_template_id string
signup_template_id string
locale string
import { useStytchB2BClient } from '@stytch/react-native/b2b';

export const Login = () => {
  const stytch = useStytchB2BClient();

  const sendEmailMagicLink = () => {
    stytch.magicLinks.email.loginOrSignup({
      email: 'sandbox@stytch.com',
      organization_id: 'organization-test-07971b06-ac8b-4cdb-9c15-63b17e653931',
    });
  };

  return <button onClick={sendEmailMagicLink}>Send email</button>;
};

RESPONSE

200
{
    "status_code": 200,
    "request_id": "request-id-test-b05c992f-ebdc-489d-a754-c7e70ba13141"
  }

Authenticate

The Authenticate method wraps the authenticate magic link API endpoint which validates the magic link token passed in.

If this method succeeds and the Member is not required to complete MFA, the Member will be logged in, granted an active session, and the session data will be persisted on device.

If this method succeeds and MFA is required, the intermediate session token will be persisted on device.

You can listen for successful login events anywhere in the codebase with the stytch.session.onChange() method or useStytchMemberSession hook.

Method parameters

magic_links_token* string
session_duration_minutes* int
locale string
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useStytchB2BClient, useStytchMemberSession } from '@stytch/react-native/b2b';

export const Authenticate = () => {
  const stytch = useStytchB2BClient();
  const { member_session } = useStytchMemberSession();

  useEffect(() => {
    if (member_session) {
      window.location.href = 'https://example.com/profile';
    } else {
      const token = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get('token');
      stytch.magicLinks.authenticate({
        magic_links_token: token,
        session_duration_minutes: 60,
      });
    }
  }, [stytch, member_session]);

  return <div>Loading</div>;
};
