Configuration Options

Whether you are creating an integration for the first time or simply customizing an existing one, the Identity Portal provides a convenient UI to change settings at the click of a button. The following sections determine the behavior and appearance of the action as the customer interacts with it as shown in the Verified MFA Flow section of the sequence diagram. These configuration options do not control how the action is used within your Auth0 application instance.

Below is a screenshot of what you will see when creating a new Auth0 integration through the Identity Portal:
