Describe your problem

It'd be useful to have an extra hook for login, recovery and verification flows.
Currently it's impossible to interrupt a flow if the decision has to be made based on the identity data but before code is sent.

Describe your ideal solution

Add extra hook type for login, recovery and verification flows, that will be triggered after first input of identifier.
The template data of a jsonnet file will provide identity property.

You can use interrupting web hooks for this, if I‘m not mistaken. Please feel free to reopen if I am indeed wrong here

[renom]

The described behavior is tested, so I can't (setting up a hook that's run after an identifier is provided but before a code is sent). I have no permissions to reopen the issue btw.

[aeneasr]

Is this only for the code method? Or are there other use cases?

[renom]

I can't remember different use cases tbh.
My use case is interrupting the flow before SMS is sent (based on the identity data).
The point is a multi-step flow. I.e. first you input the identifier, then do something else (input a code from SMS), then the flow completes.

[aeneasr]

What exactly do you want to govern? Do you want to show the user some warning or do you want to use a different SMS gatewa or something else?

[renom]

Something like access control. Disallowing logging in with SMS for specific users.

[aeneasr]

I believe you can achieve this today with the following steps:

1. Implement a custom target for the SMS webhook where you don’t send out emails for specific users
2. Use a flow interrupting webhook which uses the same logic to show the user an error

[renom]

Yes, but it'll be triggered after an unnecessary SMS was sent (which costs some money).
