Auth0 CLI

auth0 connections create

Create a new connection.

To create interactively, use ‘auth0 connections create’ with no flags.

To create non-interactively, supply the connection name and strategy through the flags, or the whole payload through ‘–data’.

JSON Input (for agents and automation)

Use ‘–schema’ to print the request payload schema, then ‘–data’ to provide connection data as JSON:

  • Inline JSON: –data ‘{“name”:”my-connection”,”strategy”:”auth0”}’
  • From file: –data @connection.json
  • From stdin: pipe data in (e.g. cat connection.json auth0 connections create)

The JSON is validated against the OpenAPI schema before sending to the API.
