Authentication from outside source

New to Bubble and writing web apps. My app creates a QR code. The QR is scanned and pops a URL with a profile. A message button is pushed and the person can text with user of the account. This is using Twilio. The interaction needs to be logged into the user’s account. My app is writing the data into the data fields by no maintaining the user login. Will I need to use an endpoint API for this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @adams.denny, unfortunately, our Twilio plugin is not a login provider. However, there is a possible workaround that could help you integrate any existing external authentication, by using the API Connector plugin at your own discretion. For more information on how to use it, please see https://manual.bubble.io/building-plugins/adding-api-connections.html and also a resource that might help https://forum.bubble.io/t/api-connector-use-most-json-apis-directly-from-bubble/2370.
In case you have more questions regarding Twilio plugin, please let me know. However, if you have more Bubble related questions, please post your request here at https://forum.bubble.io/ where you can also find help from Bubble community.

Thank you for understanding.
