#Following the docs, everything checks but the clerk + convex endpoint did not work. No user was reg
71 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Clerk + Convex integration. Based on the information provided, it seems like you're able to register users in Clerk but not in the Convex database.
Here are a few things you could try:
-
Debugging: You mentioned that you've tried debugging using the Clerk debug method. Make sure you're following the correct steps for debugging. If you're still not seeing any user info in Convex, there might be an issue with how you're connecting your frontend with Convex.
-
Check your setup: Ensure that you've set up everything according to both the Clerk and Convex documentation. If you're using Next.js, your middleware setup should look something like this:
// middleware.ts
import { clerkMiddleware, createRouteMatcher } from "@clerk/nextjs/server";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";
const isProtectedRoute = createRouteMatcher(["/projects(.*)", "/waitlist(.*)"]);
export default clerkMiddleware((auth, req) => {
const signInUrl = new URL("/sign-in", req.url).toString();
if (isProtectedRoute(req)) {
auth().protect({ unauthenticatedUrl: signInUrl });
}
return NextResponse.next();
});
-
Use the Clerk SDK: If you're trying to create users or validate if a user exists in Clerk inside of Convex, you might need to use the
clerk-sdk-node. -
Check the Convex templates: Convex provides a template (https://www.convex.dev/templates/clerk) that might be helpful in setting up Clerk with Convex.
-
Access user information in functions: Convex provides a way to access information about the authenticated user in your queries, mutations, and actions. You can learn more about this in the Convex documentation (https://docs.convex.dev/auth/functions-auth).
If you've tried all of these steps and are still having issues, it might be best to reach out to the Convex support team for further assistance.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems like the issue might be related to the URL you're using to access the HTTP endpoints.
In the Discord support thread, it was mentioned that the HTTP endpoints are exposed at <https://adjective-animal-number.convex.site> and not .cloud. This means that if you're trying to access your endpoints using a .cloud URL, you might encounter a 404 error because the endpoint doesn't exist at that URL.
Here's the relevant extract from the Discord support thread:
Trusted Support Staff 24:The http endpoints are exposed at https://adjective-animal-number.convex.site (not .cloud)
Trusted Support Staff 24:I think we can improve the docs on this, sorry about that
Community Member 439:Thank you so much! That's really helpful 🙂 And I agree, the Deployment URL shows as.cloudand that's misleading. Appreciate the quick response.
So, you should try replacing .cloud with .site in your endpoint URL and see if that resolves the issue. If you're still having trouble, it might be best to reach out to the Convex support team for further assistance.

@iron slate how do I solve this validation wrror [Request ID: 4272fe066e3f2ae2] Server Error
ArgumentValidationError: Value does not match validator.
Path: .storageId
Value: ""
Validator: v.id("_storage")
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
The error message you're seeing indicates that the value you're providing for storageId does not match the validator v.id("_storage"). The value you're providing is an empty string (""), but the validator expects a valid storage ID.
Here's how you can solve this issue:
-
Check your
storageIdvalue: Make sure that you're providing a validstorageIdwhen calling your function or mutation. ThestorageIdshould not be an empty string. -
Use optional validator if necessary: If the
storageIdfield is optional, you can use thev.optional()validator. This allows the field to beundefinedor a valid storage ID. Here's how you can use it:
v.optional(v.id("_storage"))
- Check your schema: Ensure that your schema is correctly defined. If you're using the
v.id("_storage")validator, your schema should look something like this:
defineSchema({
table: defineTable({
field: v.id("_storage")
})
})
Remember, the v.id("_storage") validator is used for fields that are storage IDs. If the storageId field is not a storage ID, you might need to use a different validator.
If you're still having trouble, it might be best to reach out to the Convex support team for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide more specific guidance.

@iron slate how can I use a different validator
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In Convex, you can use different validators based on the type of data you're validating. Validators are used to ensure that the data you're working with matches the expected format. Here's how you can use different validators:
- String Validator: If you're validating a string, you can use the
v.string()validator. Here's an example:
v.string()
- Number Validator: If you're validating a number, you can use the
v.number()validator. Here's an example:
v.number()
- Object Validator: If you're validating an object, you can use the
v.object()validator. You can specify the validators for each field in the object. Here's an example:
v.object({
field1: v.string(),
field2: v.number(),
})
- Array Validator: If you're validating an array, you can use the
v.array()validator. You can specify the validator for the elements in the array. Here's an example:
v.array(v.string())
- Optional Validator: If a field is optional, you can use the
v.optional()validator. This allows the field to beundefinedor match another validator. Here's an example:
v.optional(v.string())
Remember, you should choose the validator that matches the type of data you're working with. If you're unsure about which validator to use, you can refer to the Convex documentation (https://docs.convex.dev/) for more information.

@iron slate how can I make webhook work when connecting clerk + convex
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
To make the webhook work when connecting Clerk and Convex, you need to configure the webhook endpoint in Clerk. Here are the steps you need to follow:
-
Go to your Clerk dashboard, navigate to Webhooks, and click on + Add Endpoint.
-
Set Endpoint URL to
<https://<your> deployment name>.convex.site/clerk-users-webhook. Note that the domain ends in.site, not.cloud. You can find your deployment name in the.env.localfile in your project directory, or on your Convex dashboard as part of the Deployment URL. -
In Message Filtering, select user for all user events.
-
Click on Create.
-
After the endpoint is saved, copy the Signing Secret (on the right side of the UI), it should start with
whsec_. Set it as the value of theCLERK_WEBHOOK_SECRETenvironment variable in your Convex dashboard.
Here's an example of how the endpoint URL could look like: <https://happy-horse-123.convex.site/clerk-users-webhook.>
For more details, you can refer to the Convex documentation (https://docs.convex.dev/auth/database-auth#set-up-webhooks).
If you've followed these steps and the webhook is still not working, it might be best to reach out to the Convex support team for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide more specific guidance.

@iron slate how to solve this So the user is now auth'd successfully in clerk but as long as the convex DB is not connected to clerk then there is no user recognised in convex.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
To solve this issue, you need to ensure that Convex is properly connected to Clerk. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Configure Clerk in Convex: In your Convex project, you need to configure Clerk as an authentication provider. This is done in the
auth.config.tsfile in yourconvex/directory. Here's an example of how it could look like:
import { clerk } from "@convex/auth";
export default {
providers: [
clerk({
// The Clerk instance's ID
instanceId: process.env.CLERK_INSTANCE_ID,
// The Clerk instance's API key
apiKey: process.env.CLERK_API_KEY,
}),
],
};
-
Sync the configuration: After adding a new provider, you must run
npx convex devornpx convex deployto sync the configuration to your backend. -
Set up webhooks: You need to set up webhooks in Clerk to notify Convex when a user is created, updated, or deleted. You can find more information on how to do this in the Convex documentation (https://docs.convex.dev/auth/database-auth#set-up-webhooks).
-
Check the user in your functions: In your Convex functions, you can access the authenticated user's ID with
ctx.user.id. If the user is not authenticated,ctx.userwill benull.
If you've followed these steps and the user is still not recognized in Convex, it might be best to reach out to the Convex support team for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide more specific guidance.

@iron slate why is convex so complicated?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Convex might seem complicated at first because it's a powerful tool designed to simplify the development of web applications by providing a global state management system that runs in the cloud. It allows developers to easily build interactive and collaborative applications without managing backend infrastructure.
Here are a few reasons why it might seem complex:
-
Comprehensive Features: Convex offers a wide range of features such as cloud functions, a database, file storage, scheduling, search, and real-time updates. Learning to use all these features effectively can take some time.
-
Flexible Schema: Convex allows for both schema-less and schema-driven models, which can be a new concept for some developers. This flexibility allows for easy prototyping and scaling, but it also requires a good understanding of data modeling.
-
Advanced Concepts: Convex uses advanced concepts like Optimistic Concurrency Control for write operations, which can seem complex if you're not familiar with them.
-
Integration with Other Tools: Convex can be integrated with other tools like Clerk for user authentication, which adds another layer of complexity.
However, once you get the hang of it, Convex can greatly simplify your development process. It's designed to be easy to get started with, and then provides easy-to-use "power tools" as your application grows both in terms of developers and complexity.
