Overview

When a new user signs up, Dynamic creates a new user record in the database including their general information, and verified credentials. You can access that user via a webhook, or using SDK specific methods.

​
User Created Webhook

One of the valid webhook events you can listen to is called user.created (learn more about event types here). All you will need to get started is a server that can receive events, and then you can plug in that URL in the dashboard. Learn more about setting up the webhook step by step here.

​
SDK Specific Methods

​
authSuccess Event

Listen to the authentication success event to access the user right after login:
React Native
import { dynamicClient } from '<path to client file>';

dynamicClient.auth.on('authSuccess', (user) => {
  console.log('user', user);
});

​
Accessing the current user

You can read the authenticated user directly from the client:
React Native
import { dynamicClient } from '<path to client file>';

const user = dynamicClient.auth.authenticatedUser;
console.log('user', user);
Or, if you’re using our React hooks for client reactivity:
React Native
import { useDynamic } from '<path to client file>';
import { View } from 'react-native';

function MyComponent() {
  const { auth } = useDynamic();
  console.log('user', auth.authenticatedUser);
  return <View />;
}

​
User Format

This user record follows a specific format, which you can read all about in the User reference. One important array inside that user object will be called verified_credentials. This is where you’ll find information about any and every associated “credential” for the user i.e. email, social, blockchain, passkey.
