Which UI do you use?

Custom UI

Pre built UI

Pre / Post Hooks / Override

We provide you funtionality to run code before and after an email is sent. You can use this for:

• Logging purposes
• Spam protection purposes
• Modifying the email template variables before sending the emails

NodeJS

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.
