Update Hook Secrets

If you want to extend Auth0, we highly recommend you use Actions, which are a cornerstone of our overall extensibility product. With Actions, you have access to rich type information, inline documentation, and public npm packages, and can connect external integrations that enhance your overall extensibility experience. To learn more about what Actions offer, read Understand How Auth0 Actions Work.

You can update Hook Secrets added to any given Hook using the Dashboard or Management API.

Hook Secrets may also be imported and exported using the Deploy Command-Line Interface (CLI) tool. To learn more, read Deploy CLI Tool.

Update Hook Secrets using the Dashboard

Go to Auth0 Dashboard > Auth Pipeline > Hooks and and click the pencil icon next to the Hook you want to edit.
In the Hook editor, click the wrench icon and click Secrets.
Click the pencil and paper icon next to the value of the Hook Secret you want to edit.
Make your changes to the name and/or value of the selected Hook Secret, and click Save.

Update Hook Secrets using the Management API

Make a PATCH call to the Update Hook Secrets endpoint. Be sure to replace HOOK_ID and MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN placeholder values with your hook ID and Management API Access Token, respectively.

Value	Description
`MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Access Tokens for the Management API with the scope `update:hooks`. To learn more, read Management API Access Tokens.
`HOOK_ID`	ID of the hook for which you would like to update secrets.
`HOOK_SECRET_KEY`	Name of the secret that you would like to update for the specified hook. This endpoint accepts an object of key-value pairs.
`HOOK_SECRET_VALUE`	Value of the secret that you would like to update for the specified hook. This endpoint accepts an object of key-value pairs.

When retrieving Hook Secrets configured for a specified Hook, values will contain the placeholder text: _VALUE_NOT_SHOWN. Be careful not to return this placeholder text during an update, or the secret's actual value will be overwritten.
