The

instance_ptr

is used in the response payload of flow-interrupting webhooks to indicate the field where there is an error. It helps Ory understand which field in the user input has an issue and needs to be addressed. For example, in the following payload:

json {   "messages": [     {       "instance_ptr": "#/traits/foo/bar",       "messages": [         {           "id": 123,           "text": "field must be longer than 12 characters",           "type": "validation",           "context": {             "value": "short value"           }         }       ]     }   ] }

The

instance_ptr

value

#/traits/foo/bar

points to the field with an error, which helps Ory handle the error accordingly. Source: [https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks)

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you can find more information about Ory and its features in the [official documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs).

You're welcome! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

But actually @magnificent-energy-493 still a bit confused with the error response. Would it end up in the flow similar to one of these errors? https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/concepts/ui-user-interface#ui-message-codes

For context, if anyone else is reading this thread looking for answers, if you set

instance_ptr

to

'#/'

it results with your

messages

being added to

flow.ui.messages

. I think any

type

other than

'error'

will be converted to

'info'

. If

instance_ptr

is

'#/identifier'

, it results with your

messages

being added to the object in

flow.ui.nodes

with

attributes.name

===

'identifier'

.
