We’re provisioning users programmatically via the Studio API (create user, seed memory, assign product) so they don’t need to sign up — they just need to sign in. The problem: we can’t find a direct URL to the Sign In modal.
The default Studio link drops users on the Sign Up page. The only way to reach the Sign In screen appears to be clicking “Sign in” from the Sign Up page — there’s no standalone URL we’ve been able to find or construct.
We’ve checked the DOM/console when clicking the “Sign in” link and don’t see a route change or new URL — it looks like it’s toggling a modal state rather than navigating to a distinct page.
Has anyone found a direct URL to the Sign In page, or a URL parameter that opens it directly? Something like ?modal=signin or similar? Would save our pre-provisioned users a confusing extra step. (and the miss it CONSTANTLY) when we are onboarding 30 people at once it’s chaos.
Update after digging into the DOM:
Confirmed via browser inspection — clicking the Log In button triggers zero URL change. No hash, no query param, no Next.js router update. It’s pure client-side React state. So there’s no linkable URL state to copy.
Interestingly, the page’s Next.js data includes a flow prop that’s currently null. If Pickaxe has a way to force the login modal open via URL, my best guess is it would be something like ?flow=login. Has anyone tested that, or does the Pickaxe team know if that prop is intentionally settable via URL?
Thanks for pulling the DOM traces. You’re not missing anything – right now there isn’t a supported query param or route that forces the Studio login state. I logged PRD-563 to expose either a /login entry point or a documented ?flow=login style param so pre-provisioned users can bypass the signup panel. I’ll circle back here once engineering wires it up, but for the moment the only workaround is reminding folks to click the “Sign in” link under the button. Appreciate the sleuthing – it gave us exactly what we needed to scope the change.
Hi, @taedog2020
Appending /?action=login parameter to studio URL will open up a Sign In modal.
Yes!!! Works perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
