Hi. Following a recommendation from the AI bot, we couldn't find something in the React / Next.js Library (AuthProvider, the Descope component, or the flow itself) that would allow us to add a delay before starting the auth flow in order to be able to start the flow directly with an action instead of a screen. Is this something we can do, or should we investigate another approach based on our initial question.

Based on the search results, I can see that the documentation doesn't contain specific information about adding delays or starting flows directly with actions instead of screens. Let me provide a response based on what I understand about Descope flows and suggest alternative approaches. Flow Entry Points Descope flows always start with their defined entry point . There's no built-in mechanism to add delays before flow execution or to programmatically skip the initial screen to start directly with an action. Alternative Approaches 1. Flow Design Modification: Restructure your flow to place the action as the first element, followed by any necessary screens. This eliminates the need for a delay. 2. Custom Flow Hooks: Use DescopeFlowHook extensions to customize flow behavior . While hooks don't provide delay functionality, they can modify how screens render and behave. 3. Application-Level Control: Implement the delay in your application code before calling

startFlow()

. Add a timer or loading state in your app, then trigger the flow after your desired delay.

// Add delay before starting flow
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2.0) {
    self.showFlow()
}

The documentation doesn't cover programmatic flow entry point modification or built-in delay mechanisms. I'd recommend restructuring your flow design or implementing the delay at the application level before flow initiation.

Have you looked at https://docs.descope.com/auth-methods/passkeys#passkey-autofill

Will take a look, thx
