Custom authentication?

[andrefedev]

I want to handle the sending of text messages to authenticate my users, mainly because I send the messages mostly through WhatsApp with the Twilio API. In Firebase I have been doing the signInWithCustomToken method and in clerk how can I do it?

Hi @andrefedev.

You can send emails and SMS to your user base from Clerk Backend API via:

• https://docs.clerk.dev/reference/backend-api-reference/emails
• https://docs.clerk.dev/reference/backend-api-reference/sms-messages.

Let me know if this helps.
