Create Magic Link - Stytch API

Create embeddable Magic Link

POST

https://test.stytch.com/v1/magic_links

Create an Embeddable Magic Link token for a User. Access to this endpoint is restricted. To enable it, please send us a note at support@stytch.com.

Next steps

Send the returned token value to the end user in a link which directs to your application. When the end user follows your link, collect the token, and call Authenticate Magic Link to complete authentication.

Note: Authenticating an Embeddable Magic Link token will not result in any of the Stytch User's factors (email address or phone number) being marked as verified, as Stytch cannot confirm where the user received the token.
