Delete Hook Secrets

Learn how to delete Hook Secrets using the Dashboard and Management API. Hook Secrets may also be imported and exported using the Auth0 Deploy Command-Line Interface (CLI) tool.

The End of Life (EOL) date of Rules and Hooks will be November 18, 2026, and they are no longer available to new tenants created as of October 16, 2023. Existing tenants with active Hooks will retain Hooks product access through end of life.

We highly recommend that you use Actions to extend Auth0. With Actions, you have access to rich type information, inline documentation, and public npm packages, and can connect external integrations that enhance your overall extensibility experience. To learn more about what Actions offer, read Understand How Auth0 Actions Work.

To help with your migration, we offer guides that will help you migrate from Rules to Actions and migrate from Hooks to Actions. We also have a dedicated Move to Actions page that highlights feature comparisons, an Actions demo, and other resources to help you on your migration journey.

To read more about the Rules and Hooks deprecation, read our blog post: Preparing for Rules and Hooks End of Life.

Because we plan to remove Rules and Hooks functions in 2026, you should create new Rules or Hooks only in your Development environment and only to test migration to Actions.

To learn how to migrate your Rules to Actions, read Migrate from Rules to Actions. To learn how to migrate your Hooks to Actions, read Migrate from Hooks to Actions.

When you no longer need Hook Secrets for a given Hook, you can delete them using either the Dashboard or the Management API.

Hook Secrets can also be imported and exported using the Deploy Command-Line Interface (CLI) tool.
