Redirect to url after clicking email verification link

[guanzo]

When the user clicks on the email verification link, they're taken to a confirmation page, located at

https://APP.auth.us-east-2.amazoncognito.com/confirmUser?client_id=CLIENT_ID&user_name=USERNAME&confirmation_code=CODE

I'd like the ability to specify a URL that the confirmation page will redirect to, thereby auto logging in the user. This will make the signup flow more streamlined. Perhaps there could be an extra parameter for the redirect url.

https://APP.auth.us-east-2.amazoncognito.com/confirmUser?client_id=CLIENT_ID&user_name=USERNAME&confirmation_code=CODE&redirect=URL

The way it works now is that after clicking the link, the user has to go back to my app and log in again, which is awkward.

Hi @guanzo ,

You can go to Cognito User Pool console for your pool, then on the left pane click on App Client Settings under App Integration. There is an option to set your Callback URL there.
We don't currently support specifying the Cognito settings on awsmobile-cli. I'm adding this to our backlog.
Let us know if you face any issues adding your url.

@nidsharm That callback URL seems to be for cognito's hosted UI. I'm using my own UI.

Hi @guanzo, yes, I understand your situation. It is a good point to add a parameter: https://APP.auth.us-east-2.amazoncognito.com/confirmUser?client_id=CLIENT_ID&user_name=USERNAME&confirmation_code=CODE&redirect=URL

I will mark this as a feature request. Thanks!

In Cognito, After creating user pool go to MFA & Verification section. There you have option to set Email & Phone number verification.
