WeWeb Auth metadata

How do I add specific metadata such as an address, for example, to the signup flow? I add a column in my users table but it does not give me the option to update then during the signup workflow.

Hi @ctbrant :waving_hand:

Indeed, at the moment, the automatic signup flow we provide doesn’t support adding values to custom columns. I’ll share with the product team to see if there’s a way we can update that when you add a column in the users table.

In the meantime, I think the easiest way to achieve this would be to trigger a workflow that reacts to the signup event (“On after signup” trigger) and adds the value then. A bit like the “Send welcome email” workflow except you’d update the custom columns instead of sending a welcome email:

Does that help?

Hey @ctbrant :waving_hand:

Just thought of another option: instead of using the default signup flow, you could create your own using the “Create user” template here:

Custom columns are included by default in there.

Just remember to add an action to redirect the user after signup / creation :slight_smile:

Both approaches will work but I think this approach is more intuitive to setup and maintain.
