E-Mail verification without a verification Link

Hey all. Just started up the Free Plan and I wanted to add an additional e-mail account and make it my primary, but the e-mail verification that I get seems to be missing a verification link. What am I missing? And is this the correct channel to ask this?...

Large record update strategy

I have about 10k rows of data that changes daily for my company’s core product. I’m looking to import that as part of a nightly cron job for an internal tool I’m building in Convex to demonstrate its potential. I expect 70% of the data to remain the same. 10% to be removed and 20% to be added. I have an internal action to fetch the data nightly, but I’m unclear what next steps should be given that there’s no multi row functions in the Convex API. Do I really have to delete every row or do a lookup based on my internal ID and then perform the mutation for every record? Seems a bit inefficient....

What is the recommended way to do encryption?

I’m trying to encrypt API keys into a document but I’m running into some issues. I wanted to use node:crypto but I need the node environment for that but that environment doesn’t allow mutations. So I tried using the web crypto module but that is not fully implemented so I can’t get that working either. My other options are third-party libraries but crypto-js is deprecated and the alternatives seem unreliable I need to decrypt the value again later, so I can’t encrypt on the client either....

Convex Node runtime vs Node

Hi! I have a code that works outside of Convex runtime. It is short and simple so I put here for reference. When this runs on Convex, I get "Connection lost while action was in flight" and the logs show "Your request couldn't be completed. Try again later." The latter seems like a response from one of the external services I'm using. However, running the same code, with the same API keys, outside of Convex works perfectly fine. Has anyone came by something like this before? ```ts "use node"; ...

App Remounts on Navigation with Tanstack Router + Convex Auth

I verified both Convex Auth and (Clerk + Convex) providers. For both solutions, it seems that the app unmounts for some reason between navigations until the auth state is determined. So even when I am authenticated and navigate between protected routes, the issue remains, and the isAuthenticated state is reset on page navigation. _authed.tsx: ```tsx import { createFileRoute, Navigate, Outlet } from '@tanstack/react-router'; import { Authenticated, Unauthenticated } from 'convex/react';...

Using Sentry integration with Datadog

I would love to use the sentry integration with Datadog (I understand that there is a Datadog log integration, but I think setting up Error tracking is actually easier using the Sentry SDK. I'm not an expert, so I don't know whether this would actually make sense in productionTM. Anyway...) Datadog supports the Sentry SDK, but you need to provide a service name, like this: ```Sentry.init({ dsn: "<DSN>", initialScope: { tags: {...

`use node` Convex Auth provider

I'm trying to write a convex auth provider that uses the node crypto package. Implementation: https://github.com/nickretallack/ranked-choice-convex/blob/92fbcb532aa40af85b3e613885e6bf0c694b87dd/convex/telegram/auth.ts#L9-L20 Used here https://github.com/nickretallack/ranked-choice-convex/blob/92fbcb532aa40af85b3e613885e6bf0c694b87dd/convex/auth.ts). Unfortunately, this causes convex to produce this error:...

Hey just a quick question, if running npx convex deploy from one repo (nextjs) which doesnt have all the schema and function files from the other repo (expo), doest this overwrite them in the convex dashboard or potentially delete them? Just being safe.

Convex Auth session keeps dying

Hi, My app session keeps dying out of nowhere. It happens ~daily (interestingly, usually happens at the same time as on the Convex Dashboard). Most of the times I open the browser (Arc) and both my app and Convex Dashboard are logged out, so I re-sign-in on both. Sometimes it happens while I'm using it (did just now)....

Convex Self-host

I built an MVP for the company I work for on convex. I plan on using it in the actual product but we have to self-host in our own servers to be compliant with company policy. If i deploy convex in my company's servers myself, do i get a dashboard similar to the one in convex.dev?

Lets say there are a lot of apps...

Lets assume that there are 5 apps with their individual databases on Convex. Now lets say later in the future I realize that I want to suggested recommendations on one app based on the data in other apps - would that be possible with convex? (5 apps would have 5 databases as I think it would be scalable for each of those individual services/apps). Also is it possible to share auth data amongst all 5 apps?

Keeping the user logged in forever.

I am developing a mobile application using Convex for authentication management. The app is built using two approaches: a Capacitor Next.js app and a React Native app (for testing both frameworks). How can I maintain the user authentication session across both platforms so that users only need to log in once? Could you provide guidance on implementing a persistent auth session in this setup?...

Can I setup an index with array list field

In my users table, I'm adding a new key roles which is an array. Is it possible to declare an index based on that field? If yes, how could I run a query using the .withIndex api where the values of the field are in a list? If this is not possible, is there a pattern or workaround I could choose to "limit" queries upon the (very large) users table, based on roles?

Circular dependencies in validators

I'm defining my tables using Table from convex helpers, and I want to define some enriched versions of these documents using a Convex validator in the same schema.ts file such that I can pass it around to other validators and Convex functions. I'm running into circular dependency issues, however. See the attached screenshot for the specific example. I can seemingly fix this by putting enrichment validators into a enrich.ts file in each table folder, but is this really the only way? I would love to have both table validator and enriched validators and types in the same schema.ts file....
