Add headers/tokens to calls to queries and actions

Hi,

Can anyone describe how I can ensure additional data is sent in headers when interacting with the backend?

I have some security tokens stored on the client that I would like to have access to on the server (for external api requests).

I’d like to avoid making these calls from the client if possible, because there will be several subsequent queries and actions to trigger.

These are transient, and user specific so I can’t store as env vars on the server.

I could store them in a temporary table, and retrieve when needed, but that seems messy and will require a cleanup activity.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
