Updating a Users Email - What am I missing?

Questions
1

I am trying to give my users the ability to update their email address.

Of course, this data field can’t be edited with “Make changes to a thing”

So, I am using the “Send confirmation email” option…

That works… The email gets sent, I click the link and…

Nothing.

The data field doesn’t update.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Is there a step I am missing?

Hi there, @ian11… you can use the Update the user’s credentials workflow action to give the user the ability to change their email address. So, you would have a form with an input element (with a content format of email) into which the user would input a new email address (you would also need an input into which the user can enter their current password), and a button would run a workflow with this action. Is that what you mean?

Thanks Mike!

No, not quite. Ideally the user verifies that they are the owner of the email. There is a bubble built action “Send email confirmation email” that seems like it’s supposed to do this…

I just can’t figure out how it’s supposed to work and bubble docs are super lite on information.

I could be misunderstanding what you are trying to do, but I don’t think the Send email confirmation action does what you think it does. If you are trying to let a user change their email address, then to the best of my knowledge, you have to go the route I mentioned. The Send email confirmation action is used to set a user’s email confirmed field from no to yes when the user clicks the link, but it has nothing to do with a user being able to change (update) their email.

Yep… as @mikeloc says… if you want to update a User’s email address you’ll need to use the Update User Credentials workflow action and set their new email address in there…

What are you wondering?

If it is possible to change users email without old password field?

I assume not for security purposes.

11

Do you mean allowing users to change their own email addresses, without a password?

Or changing another User’s email address?

This one…
Do you mean allowing users to change their own email addresses, without a password?

Did anyone ever figure out if we can allow users to change their own email addresses without entering their password?
