Doing operations post a password reset
To perform any task like analytics, sending a user an email, notifying an internal dashboard, post resetting a password, you'll need to override the passwordResetPOST
API.
- NodeJS
- GoLang
- Python
- Other Frameworks
Important
For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.
