# Silent re-authentication

Another way of retrieving updated information about the customer is to use the silent re-authentication flow. This is, in essence, the same flow described in [Sign in customers](/connect/sign-in-customers.md) but without presenting the sign in screen to the customer.

You activate the silent re-authentication flow by including a `prompt` query parameter with the value `none` in the [authorization request](/connect/sign-in-customers.md#step-1-request-an-authorization-code).

If the customer is already signed into Pliro they will immediately be redirected to the `redirect_uri` with an authorization code.

If they are not signed into Pliro, the customer will be redirected to the `redirect_uri` with an `error` parameter set to `login_required`. At this point, you should consider signing the customer out of your website.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pliro.co/connect/silent-re-authentication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
