About Auth0

Auth0 is an identity management platform that let applications developers easily implement authentication and authorisation logic into their applications.

Integrating Auth0 with 8x8 SMS API

To leverage SMS API to send OTP codes to your users, you will be using the hook feature in Auth0.
More specifically, you will be using the "Send a phone message" hook and adapt it to send requests to 8x8 SMS API.

Prerequisites:

• Auth0 account
• 8x8 CPaaS subaccount
• 8x8 CPaaS apikey

Steps:

1. In your Auth0 portal, go to the Auth pipeline > Hooks section.
2. Select "Create a hook" in the top right corner.
3. You can call it by any name, let's call it "8x8".
4. Select type "Send phone message" and click on "Create".
5. Scroll down on the Hooks page to the "Send phone message" section and click on the pencil/edit button to edit the hook you just created.

7. Select "Add Secret" and input for secret key: subaccount and for secret value, your 8x8 SMS subaccount (can be obtained in 8x8 Connect portal - API Keys section).
   8.Select "Add Secret" and input for secret key: apikey and for secret value, your 8x8 SMS apikey (can be obtained in 8x8 Connect portal - API Keys section).
8. Close the secrets and settings section.
9. Copy and paste this code in the code section of the hook in place of the code already there:

module.exports = function (recipient, text, context, cb) {
    const axios = require("axios").default,
        API_KEY = context.webtask.secrets.apikey,
        SUBACCOUNT = context.webtask.secrets.subaccount,
        BASE_URL = "https://sms.8x8.com/api/v1/";
    let instance = axios.create({
        baseURL: BASE_URL,
        headers: {
            "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
            "Accept": "application/json",
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        },
    });
    instance({
        method: "post",
        url: `subaccounts/${SUBACCOUNT}/messages`,
        data: {
            "encoding": "AUTO",
            "destination": recipient,
            "text": text
        }
    })
        .then((response) => {
            cb(null, {});
        })
        .catch((error) => {
            cb(error);
        });
