I want to be able to trigger a workflow when the user clicks the link in their confirmation email. I want to be able to send a follow up welcome email. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! ---

You can write a backend Workflow API to send welcome email when the user clicks on confirmation email. Clicking on that link should trigger this API. Reference : [https://manual.bubble.io/core-resources/api/workflow-api](https://manual.bubble.io/core-resources/api/workflow-api) ---

Hey, did you tried a database trigger? By doing this you won’t need to think about how to link the backend workflow. It would automatically been triggered once the built-in field “e-mail confirmed” would be changed to “Yes”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/4/b/4b53eb9a4015b53bde92e3844305604eb926fc9c.png) Let me know if you need more assistance.
