Metafields

Metafields are custom fields that you can use to store additional information about your users. They are administration-only fields that allow you to add metadata to hold IDs and make associations with your own systems. Scute supports 7 data types for metafields: string, integer, date, email, phone, url, and boolean.

Metafields are not used in login forms for collecting extra data from users. Instead, they serve as a way to store and retrieve meta information that you can process in your application during authentication, signup, and other user-related operations.

Metafield Verification

You can now verify metafield values using OTP codes sent to the specified identifier. This is particularly useful for:

• Verifying email or phone metafields before important operations
• Confirming ownership of contact information stored in metafields
• Adding an extra layer of security for sensitive metafield updates

See the User Identifier Verification guide for details on implementing metafield verification in your application.

Go to control.scute.io, select your app and click on the "Metafields" tab. Enter the field name, select the data type and click on the "Add +" button to create a new metafield.
