Enhancing the Signup Process with Django Allauth

When building a web application with Django, implementing a seamless authentication process is essential for user experience. Django Allauth is a powerful package that simplifies this process by allowing users to sign up via social platforms, including Google. However, you may find yourself wanting to tweak the sign-up flow to capture additional user information before redirecting them to the main part of your app.

In this guide, we will address the problem of redirecting users who sign up using Google to an intermediate screen where they can fill out additional information, such as a phone number, before proceeding to their dashboard.

The Challenge

Currently, when a user signs up using Google with Django Allauth, their account is created, and they are immediately redirected to the homepage. While this is efficient, it can leave essential user information incomplete, which hinders personalization and communication.

Desired Behavior

To enhance the user experience and ensure that you collect all necessary information, the desired behavior is to redirect newly signed-up users to a screen prompting them to fill out additional information. This screen should be optional to skip if the user chooses to proceed without completing their profile.

Implementing an Intermediate Screen

Step 1: Custom User Model Setup

Before we customize the sign-up process, ensure that you have a custom user model that sets the email as the unique identifier. Here's a brief recap of how your custom user model should look:

Step 2: Create a Mixin for Redirection

To introduce the intermediate screen functionality, we will create a custom Mixin in our class-based views. This Mixin will handle the logic of checking whether a user has completed their profile and will redirect them accordingly.

Here is how you can accomplish this:

Step 3: Redirect Users to the Intermediate Screen

In the dispatch method of your custom Mixin, you can set the condition to check if the required fields in the user profile are filled. If not, the user will be redirected to the intermediate screen, which is where you can collect further information.

Step 4: Create the Intermediate Screen

Now, create a view and template for the intermediate screen where users can provide more details:

Conclusion

With the above setup, you can customize your Django Allauth sign-up process to enhance user experience by capturing additional information immediately after signing up. This additional information is crucial for better engagement and can be pivotal in maintaining user relationships.

Implementing the above steps will guide you in building an efficient user authentication experience that meets your unique requirements while using Django and Django Allauth.
