Solution

Unlike Enterprise connections, the display name for a Social connection cannot be configured in the dashboard UI but can be set using the Auth0 Management API.

  1. Locate the connection's unique ID. This ID begins with con_.
  2. Obtain a Management API token that includes the update:connections permission.
  3. Send a PATCH request to the /api/v2/connections/{id} endpoint, replacing {id} with the connection ID.
  4. Include a JSON object in the body of the API call with the display_name key set to the desired friendly name.
{ "display_name": "<Desired Display Name>" }

For more information, refer to the Management API documentation.
