"Send a password setup email to the user", how to send user their login details?

[Buddha]

I want to create an account for people using the “Send a password setup email to the user” workflow action.

How do I send them their login details?

Basically you create a user by having an email input field (all other necessary details about user eg name etc). once you have created the user, the next step is to send a password reset link for the user to create password for their accounts and login. You will use “send password reset email” and the email (recipient) will be the email of the user created. assuming this is the second action for user creation, it will be " result of step 1 email". Alternatively, you can use “Assign a temp password to user” and then allow them to update/reset their password.

Thanks Paul for your response.

I have setup the password reset workflow action. How do I add the password reset link itself?

I think it just sticks the link at the end of the email on a new line. For better control check the box “Just make token, don’t send email” then do a separate email action and use the Result of that step’s token (may have to construct the link before the token, not sure)

I used to send a password reset email for this but users kept getting confused that the link would expire after 24 hours. Changed it to temporary password which is a better system I believe

Hi Rod.

With a temporary password, when they login what do they see?

A password reset page?

[tylerboodman]

I think you send them the random password in the email and they login once, then you prompt them to set their own (yes/no field whether or not this is done)

Hey the password reset is an in-built function. Bubble will provide the link, you don’t have to add a link to your email. Once the user receive the email, they will be prompted to reset password and bubble will automatically navigate the user to the password reset page.

If you go to Settings > General > Privacy & Security in your app, you will see an option for “Redirect users who haven’t changed their password”. You can set a different page for them to see to set their initial password if you like.
