Integrate Auth0 with AWS Cognito on tray.ai
Automate user provisioning, sync identity data, and connect authentication workflows across Auth0 and AWS Cognito without writing a line of code.
Auth0 + AWS Cognito integration
Auth0 and AWS Cognito are two of the most widely adopted identity and access management platforms, and many organizations run both at once — Auth0 for its developer experience and social login support, and AWS Cognito for its tight fit with the AWS ecosystem. Keeping user identities, roles, and attributes in sync between them manually is error-prone, slow, and a real security risk. Connecting Auth0 with AWS Cognito through tray.ai lets teams automate identity lifecycle events, enforce consistent access policies, and stop doing duplicate provisioning work across both systems.
Organizations in hybrid cloud environments or mid-migration between identity providers often depend on both Auth0 and AWS Cognito at the same time. Without a reliable integration, user onboarding becomes a two-step manual process, offboarding creates security gaps when accounts are deactivated in one system but not the other, and role changes fail to propagate — opening the door to privilege drift. Connecting Auth0 and AWS Cognito through tray.ai gives your team a real-time, event-driven bridge between the two platforms. New users registered in Auth0 are automatically provisioned in Cognito user pools, password resets and MFA changes stay in sync, and deprovisioning events trigger cascading cleanup across both systems. This is especially useful for enterprises managing large user bases across AWS-native applications and external-facing portals, where you need a single source of truth for identity data regardless of which system initiates the change.
Automate & integrate Auth0 + AWS Cognito
Automating Auth0 and AWS Cognito business processes or integrating data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
Automated User Provisioning Across Both Identity Providers
When a new user is created in Auth0 — through self-registration, an enterprise SSO connection, or manual admin provisioning — tray.ai automatically mirrors that user record in AWS Cognito, including profile attributes, group memberships, and custom claims. No more bespoke sync scripts for your engineering team to build and maintain. All your applications get consistent, real-time user availability regardless of which identity provider they rely on.
- Eliminate manual double-entry when provisioning users in both platforms
- Cut time-to-access for new employees and customers from hours to seconds
- Keep AWS-native applications current with the latest Auth0 user records
Use case
Real-Time User Deprovisioning and Offboarding
When a user is deactivated, deleted, or blocked in Auth0 — during employee offboarding, for example — tray.ai immediately triggers a corresponding deactivation or deletion in AWS Cognito, so stale accounts don't linger and create vulnerabilities. The workflow can also notify downstream systems like Slack or Jira to confirm offboarding completion, giving you a tight, auditable security posture across all identity surfaces.
- Close security gaps caused by orphaned accounts in Cognito after Auth0 deactivation
- Meet compliance requirements for timely access revocation under SOC 2 and ISO 27001
- Trigger multi-system offboarding workflows from a single Auth0 deactivation event
Use case
Group and Role Synchronization for Access Control
Auth0 has solid role-based access control (RBAC) and user group management, but those changes don't automatically appear in AWS Cognito user pool groups — which means inconsistent permissions across your application stack. tray.ai monitors role and group assignment changes in Auth0 and propagates them to the corresponding Cognito user groups in real time. This matters most for organizations where Cognito-backed APIs and Lambda authorizers depend on accurate group membership to enforce fine-grained access.
- Keep Cognito user pool groups in sync with Auth0 RBAC roles without manual intervention
- Prevent privilege drift across AWS-native APIs and serverless applications
- Reduce risk of unauthorized access from stale role assignments in either platform
Use case
Migration of Users from Auth0 to AWS Cognito
Migrating identity infrastructure from Auth0 to AWS Cognito means bulk-transferring user records, metadata, and group memberships without disrupting active sessions or forcing users to re-register. tray.ai orchestrates a phased migration workflow that reads user records from Auth0 in batches, transforms attribute schemas to match Cognito's data model, and imports users into the target Cognito user pool. Progress tracking, error logging, and retry logic are built directly into the workflow.
- Automate bulk user migration without custom ETL scripts or engineering downtime
- Transform and map Auth0 user attributes to Cognito's schema automatically
- Track migration progress and catch failures with built-in error handling and alerting
Use case
Password Reset and MFA Event Synchronization
Password resets, MFA enrollment, and account recovery actions initiated in Auth0 often need to be reflected in AWS Cognito to maintain session consistency and a complete audit trail. tray.ai listens for these Auth0 events and triggers corresponding administrative updates in Cognito — such as forcing a password change on next login or updating MFA preferences — without requiring users to interact with two separate systems.
- Reflect Auth0 password reset events in Cognito to prevent session inconsistencies
- Maintain consistent MFA enrollment status across both identity platforms
- Build a cross-platform audit trail for security and compliance reviews
Use case
New Customer Registration Sync for B2C Applications
B2C applications commonly use Auth0 for customer-facing registration while relying on AWS Cognito to protect backend APIs and data services. When a new customer registers in Auth0, tray.ai automatically creates a matching Cognito user record, assigns appropriate user pool groups, and can kick off welcome email sequences or CRM record creation. Customers get access to all application layers from the moment they sign up — no delays, no manual steps.
- Give newly registered Auth0 customers instant access to Cognito-protected resources
- Chain registration events into broader onboarding workflows spanning CRM, email, and billing
- Eliminate race conditions and access errors from delayed manual provisioning
Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Auth0 and AWS Cognito — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
Schema and Attribute Mapping Differences Between Platforms
Auth0 and AWS Cognito use fundamentally different user attribute schemas. Auth0 supports flexible custom metadata stored in app_metadata and user_metadata objects, while Cognito relies on a predefined set of standard attributes plus a limited number of custom attributes with strict naming conventions. Mapping and transforming these schemas when syncing users is complex and error-prone, especially for organizations with large numbers of custom attributes.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai's visual data mapper lets teams define precise field-level mappings between Auth0's flexible metadata structure and Cognito's attribute schema without writing transformation code. Custom logic operators handle edge cases such as concatenating name fields, reformatting phone numbers to E.164 format, or conditionally populating Cognito custom attributes based on Auth0 metadata values.
Challenge
Handling Duplicate User Detection Across Systems
When syncing users bidirectionally or during migration, there's a real risk of creating duplicate user records if a user already exists in Cognito when the provisioning workflow fires. Auth0 uses a sub claim as a unique identifier while Cognito uses a UUID-based username, so simple ID matching doesn't work. Without robust deduplication logic, workflows may throw errors, create orphaned duplicates, or silently skip users.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai workflows can implement lookup-before-create logic using Cognito's ListUsers API to search by email address before attempting to create a new record. Conditional branching routes to an update path if the user already exists, or a create path if they don't, preventing duplicates while keeping all attributes current.
Challenge
Rate Limiting and API Throttling During Bulk Operations
Both the Auth0 Management API and AWS Cognito impose rate limits on administrative API calls, which becomes a real problem during bulk user migrations or large-scale sync operations. Hitting these limits can cause workflows to fail midway through a migration, leaving user populations in an inconsistent state across the two platforms.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai has built-in retry logic with configurable exponential backoff, so workflows handle rate limit responses (HTTP 429) from both Auth0 and Cognito without failing. Paginated processing with configurable batch sizes and inter-request delays keeps large-scale operations running reliably, and failed records are queued for retry rather than silently dropped.
