By enabling Event streams, the customer becomes the controller of such information and is responsible for the data exported from the Auth0 Platform, including what information is streamed and how it is used.
Use cases
Events are real-time notifications about specific actions – initially changes to a user, but eventually others – that have occurred within your Auth0 tenant. You can create event streams that listen for these events to orchestrate asynchronous changes (i.e., changes to an entity or flow that have been completed) in Auth0 and forward them to one of many destinations for external processing. Events support a variety of use cases, including:- Synchronize data across systems — Keep an external database, data warehouse, or search index synchronized with identity changes in Auth0.
- Correlate identity changes with external systems — React to identity changes and propagate updates to CRM platforms, billing services, or SaaS licensing tools.
- Orchestrate business workflows — Trigger downstream workflows such as onboarding, provisioning, and CRM updates when identity changes occur.
