Send email after user validates with activation code

Does SC have a built in ability to send an email to a newly registered user AFTER that user validates their email address by clicking on the ‘Activate your subscription’ link in the first email?

I need to send a ‘Welcome’ email after the user’s email has been validated with the activation code.
Thanks

?? You mean with an application you build yourself??
Of course you can simply build a scriptcase application that handles a validation. Just store the email with a randomised string and send the url with the randomiseed string as parameter. e.g. https://mysite/myapp?activate=abcdef12345 (your random string here).
Then in your code catch the activate=… find it in your table and activate the user by for example doing an update sql statement.

Excellent. I see how you’ve put the SC elements together to accomplish my objective. Hopefully, I’ll start to see the SC fundamental elements soon :slight_smile:

The only disadvantage as I see it is, because I’m using the built-in Security model, if I ever re-run the Security App setup I need to remember to change the ‘New User’ link on the login form to point to my custom form.

Humm, In (Security module generated) app_Login application, when I change the link value of the “New User” link, the value reverts back to the original value when I save. What am I missing that keeps me from changing the link target?

Resolved. Stupid me, I didn’t see the very big “Update” button in the “Values format” session of “Fields->Links”.

i dont know which url to put in the email message ? i have a regitration form and on validate event, emails login details to user . user has to verify his email, so a link should go in the email and mysql table must be updated as value VERIFIED. how to do that?? :frowning:
