Hi,
Im using firebase auth in my app and im setting up passwordless email sign up. I have managed to set the email from my own domain but how do i change the text sent in the email for magic link?
I can see the configuration for the other emails but not this one.

The email in question is this one:

Hello,

We received a request to sign in to Kidadl-Dev using this email address. If you want to sign in with your youremail account, click this link: link

If you did not request this link, you can safely ignore this email.

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

Only certain email templates are configurable for abuse reasons. If you click the ? next to the email template you'll see more explanation there on what can be edited.

Firebase Auth isn't really set up to support "passwordless" auth.  You'd probably be best off implementing your own auth strategy and signing JWT tokens for Firebase, or trying phone auth, rather than trying to hack email/password auth to that purpose.

☼, Kato

I'm not really sure i understand the reasons for not using it.

My users can sign up with just their email address and the magic link email works great, its just this minor adjustment to the message content that i would like to change.

Hi Andrew,

I think Kato misunderstood your question.  Definitely use passwordless sign in if you like the flow, you're using it as intended. 

Currently there's no way to customize the email content, but we have heard this feature request before and are open to it.

Would you mind sharing, as a data point, what you'd use for the customized text?

Hi Sam,
Ideally i would like to change the full html but a simple MVP would be the ability to change just the wording to something like this:

Hello and welcome to {business-name},

We received a request to sign in to {App-name} using this email address. If you want to sign in with your {user-email} account, click this link: link

If you did not request this link, you can safely ignore this email.

Thanks,

{business-name-founder}{business-name}


Something like this, you get the idea.


Thanks

See attached a screenshot of the other templates i can edit, so basically i was expecting there to be one for the magic link email.
