User Validation Actions

The system uses email and links to offer user validation. Validation may include email verification, password reset requests, etc.

Action links

All action links will come back to the endpoint

https://site.com:port/api/v1/actions?command=payload

Payload

The system encrypts the payload with its private key. A base64 encoder convert the encrypted message to something valid for a URI.

{
  "id" : "uuid",
  "email" : "email@host.com",
  "type" : "verificationType"
}

• id : UUID of the request that should be outstanding
• email : email address of the user under verification
• type : could be one of "emailValidation", "passwordResetRequest", or other.

Templates

Email templates come in 2 flavors: txt and html. The system replaces the following occurrences with system variables:

• {{action}} : the link that the user should press. That link should include the payload as above.
• {{name}} : the name of the user field.
• {{recipient}} : user email, as-is
