Hello! We are sending a Discourse invite to our users once they create an account on our app. We already have their name and custom fields we require for our community, but the user has to type these again on Discourse. Is there a way for us to complete those fields as part of their profile? Than…

I think best would be for your app to be the SSO server. If you don’t want that, then you can have your app create the user via the API and include those settings. You can figure out how to do that with How to reverse engineer the Discourse API .

We don’t want to create users via API because we want user to create a password and choose their username. I was looking into creating a staged user with all the data but seems this is not possible via API. The other option I can think of is extending invites to allow custom fields and profile info…

Do you have other ideas? Is not a problem if we have to write custom code, but want to make the least amount of c…

I’m just confused by your setup and these two sentences because then you don’t really have Single-sign-on you have double-sign-on? [image] eatcodetravel: We are sending a Discourse invite to our users once they create an account on our app. [image] eatcodetravel: The thing is we are usin…
