Messaging Connectors
Messaging Connectors in Descope enable you to configure and use your own messaging providers instead of Descope's default messaging service. You can integrate with your preferred email, SMS, push notification, or other notification providers to deliver OTP codes, Magic Links, verification emails, push authentication requests, and custom notifications during authentication flows.
How Messaging Connectors Work
Messaging Connectors are configured in the Connectors page and used in two ways:
Authentication Method Integration
Configure your messaging provider connector and select it in authentication method settings (OTP, Magic Link, Push, etc.) to deliver authentication messages. Once configured, Descope automatically uses your connector to send codes or notifications during flows.
Flow-Based Messaging
Add messaging connector steps within your flows to send custom messages. After configuring your connector, add the connector step to your flow and specify the recipient and message content.
Messaging Templates
Messaging templates are used to customize the messaging content that is sent to the user. You can read more about how to create and use email templates in our Messaging Templates guide.
Available Messaging Connectors
Descope supports various email, SMS, and notification platforms. Each connector is configured through the Connectors page in the Descope Console.
