Send Magic Message

Sending a Magic Message reduces the number of steps your user needs to complete, and it eliminates the need for typing. That's a win for anyone authenticating on mobile.

Users start their Swoop authentication journey when they Swoop In by clicking the "Swoop In with email" button on your web property or application.

📘

The "Swoop In with email button" is typically located where a property would place their login/register button within their own website or application. An example can be found here.

Send Magic Message

If it's the first time a Magic Message is sent from that device, the user will need to tell us how they prefer to check their email: from a desktop client application (such as Apple Mail) or in a web browser (such as Gmail). That selection will be saved as their preferred method for authorizing with Swoop for any property moving forward. Sending a Magic Message is particularly useful from mobile devices. Give it a try.
