Update User

Update an Auth0 user's attributes.

Options

Field Definition Type Required
Pass Empty Values?

Specifies whether empty values are passed to the remote system, instead of skipping an update to the field.

  • Yes: For any input field on the card that is blank or given a null value, the update includes the empty field. This clears any existing value on the remote system for that field.
  • No: For any input field on the card that is blank or given a null value, nothing is sent to the remote system for this field. Any existing value on the remote system remains unchanged.

This option also affects lists or objects, but doesn't affect dropdown types.
