Utilizing Magic Links for Courses

Written By Laudonia (Collaborator)

The password management system includes advanced features designed to enhance flexibility and security. Users can set their passwords, benefit from user-specific Magic Links, and experience a streamlined login process. Additionally, the previous password custom field has been deprecated, and replaced by a new login URL custom field to ensure a seamless experience. These updates simplify password management, improve onboarding efficiency, and provide a more secure and user-friendly system.

Flexibility in Password Management

  • User-defined passwords: Users can set their passwords from the loginUrl. Passwords will no longer be automatically generated.
  • Magic Links: User-specific Magic Links will be sent across all course emails and triggers, allowing users to set their passwords seamlessly.
  • Set Password Page Redirection: If users attempt to log in without setting their password, they will be redirected to the Set Password page.

How it Works

Sending the Initial Email

The system will automatically send the initial email when an offer is granted or a purchase is completed, in accordance with your configurations. If the default template has been enabled within the Membership Settings, the email will include a link for login access. 

 

If a custom email template has been created, ensure that the Login URL custom field is included.

Furthermore, if you have established a workflow for sending the initial email, ensure that the loginUrl is included in the template or plain text editor. 

📌📌Users will need this link to set their passwords📌📌. 

 

Setting the Password

If users attempt to log in without setting their password, they will be redirected to the Set Password page.

 

Forget Password Flow

Users will receive a reset link allowing them to set their own password within two hours of their request.

Users will be automatically logged in following the reset of their password.

📌 Important Notes on the Feature

  • Removal of Password Custom Field: The password custom field will no longer be visible in any template builders or workflow email options. Users will also be unable to add the password field to new templates. Additionally, any password custom field included in existing templates will no longer be populated.
  • Magic Links Implementation: New Magic Links will be included in all emails and triggers using the custom field login URL.

By adopting user-specific Magic Links and deprecating the password custom field, we are streamlining the process and significantly enhancing the overall user experience.
