Can actions actually return a value?

The documentation is not very clear about whether actions can have a return value or not. If they can't, I'd apprecaite it if the documentation could acknowledge this clearly. If they can, I'd appreciate a clear example showcasing how to do this. For example, I would like to have this kind of action. ```typescript...

Basic Auth for log stream webhook

Currently when configuring log stream webhook, it only accepts a URL without any options to add auth related info for this endpoint. It would be great if we can provide basic auth information when adding this endpoint. The workaround is to include auth info in the URL which is not secure.

Setting Up Convex Auth In Mono Repo

Hi everyone, I’m struggling to implement a basic email/password signup flow with email verification and password reset functionality using Convex Auth in my monorepo. The documentation has been quite unclear, especially regarding the concepts of flows and providers, making it difficult to follow. Could anyone guide me on how to create a straightforward account creation and signup process? Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated!...

Run convex from AWS lambda

I have next JS application with convex back-end. I want to run my scalable code on AWS lambdas. At first I wanted to use queues and pass data to the lambdas like that. Then I thought it might be simpler to just let each lambda access convex directly. My convex folder is generated on my next JS project (The lambda code is a sub-project of that project) ...

Advice on Convex & OpenAI Assistants API: Real-Time Reactivity, Data Redundancy, & Collaborative UX

I came across Ian Macartney’s post, "GPT Streaming With Persistent Reactivity," while exploring patterns for using Convex with OpenAI. Since the post is over a year old, I wanted to ask if the team has any new insights, particularly around collaborative user experiences powered by Convex and the OpenAI Assistants API. While I was thinking about it, I felt uncomfortable about the idea of having two sources of truth. The Assistants API already stores a lot of information about threads, messages, and tool calls. It feels redundant to store the same information in Convex if I can access it through the API. However, as Ian mentioned, browser-based HTTP streaming alone is unreliable for real-time reactivity, especially in a collaborative multi-user environment. A real-time database solution like Convex seems essential to achieve the required synchronization....

File Storage Read Permissions - Currently World-readable!

I am trying to serve files in storage via getUrl, but I've discovered that those files are world readable, outside convex, on the open internet (e.g. via curl - try it on your side). How can I control read access to these functions? Can I set permissions when writing, and if so how?...
