useLinkProfile

Links a web2 or web3 profile to the connected in-app or ecosystem account. When a profile is linked to the account, that profile can then be used to sign into the same account.

Example

Linking a social profile


import { useLinkProfile } from "thirdweb/react";
 
const { mutate: linkProfile } = useLinkProfile();
 
const onClick = () => {
  linkProfile({
    client,
    strategy: "discord", // or "google", "x", "telegram", etc
  });
};

Linking an email


import { useLinkProfile } from "thirdweb/react";
import { preAuthenticate } from "thirdweb/wallets";
 
const { mutate: linkProfile } = useLinkProfile();
 
// send a verification email first
const sendEmail = async () => {
  const email = await preAuthenticate({
    client,
    strategy: "email",
    email: "john.doe@example.com",
  });
};
 
// then link the profile with the verification code
const onClick = (code: string) => {
  linkProfile({
    client,
    strategy: "email",
    email: "john.doe@example.com",
    verificationCode: code,
  });
};

The same process can be used for phone and email, simply swap out the strategy parameter.

Linking a wallet


import { useLinkProfile } from "thirdweb/react";
 
const { mutate: linkProfile } = useLinkProfile();
 
const onClick = () => {
  linkProfile({
    client,
    strategy: "wallet",
    wallet: createWallet("io.metamask"), // autocompletion for 400+ wallet ids
    chain: sepolia, // any chain works, needed for SIWE signature
  });
};
