Phone session does not trigger a user.*.create event, it triggers users.*.sessions.*.create event.

Phone session does not trigger a user.*.create event, it triggers users.*.sessions.*.create event.

It still doesn't get triggered for me. Tried on both Appwrite Cloud and Self Hosted instance (1.4.9). For both I have added the users.*.sessions.*.create event. Tried with just the users.* event as well, still isn't triggered.

Has the user called the Create phone session (confirmation) endpoint? This is when the session is created and the event should be triggered

Yes I am calling the create phone session endpoint.
To make sure I'm doing it right, I am attaching the code snippet below in Dart:

final client = Client()
    .setEndpoint('endpoint')
    .setProject('some_id');

final account = Account(client);
final sessionToken = await account.createPhoneSession(
    userId: ID.unique(),
    phone: '+14255550123'
);

The session is not created until the user receives the code, and uses it to call account.updatePhoneSession. Please see https://appwrite.io/docs/references/cloud/client-web/account#updatePhoneSession

Oh okay got it.
I just now came across this thread on Discord where Steven has mentioned that no event gets triggered for the createPhoneSession endpoint.
I actually want to get that code (which is sent to the user). Is there any way to get that code before actually the user enters it?

[mdmohsin7]

I went through the codebase and I saw that the generated code is stored in a collection named "tokens".

        $secret = Auth::codeGenerator();
        $expire = DateTime::formatTz(DateTime::addSeconds(new \DateTime(), Auth::TOKEN_EXPIRATION_PHONE));

        $token = new Document([
            '$id' => ID::unique(),
            'userId' => $user->getId(),
            'userInternalId' => $user->getInternalId(),
            'type' => Auth::TOKEN_TYPE_PHONE,
            'secret' => Auth::hash($secret),
            'expire' => $expire,
            'userAgent' => $request->getUserAgent('UNKNOWN'),
            'ip' => $request->getIP(),
        ]);

        Authorization::setRole(Role::user($user->getId())->toString());

        $token = $dbForProject->createDocument('tokens', $token
            ->setAttribute('$permissions', [
                Permission::read(Role::user($user->getId())),
                Permission::update(Role::user($user->getId())),
                Permission::delete(Role::user($user->getId())),
            ]));

I tried adding the event databases.*.collections.tokens.documents.* and databases.*.collections.tokens, but none of them seems to cause the function to be triggered. Is there a way to access the tokens collection?

@loks0n why it doesn't create a user.*.create event while we have really a user created in appwrite, doesn't it make sense to have that event ?
I have noticed that the session creation takes 2 steps:

1. first step where the code is sent to mobile phone number: and here we have a user being created in appwrite (not verified but created) and then we should have user.*.create event triggered. not ?
2. second step Create phone session (confirmation): and here we have a session being created and then we should have users.*.sessions.*.create triggered.

This is a long-standing issue we have with our event system in which only 1 event is triggered per endpoint. We plan to rewrite the event system to fix this problem.
