Contact Password Reset
Overview
ActiveMember360 Contact Password Reset is used to send a standard WordPress reset email to an ActiveCampaign contact.
One use case for this shortcode is to send a new user of your site the standard WordPress reset email instead of an ActiveCampaign email containing the password in plain text.
It can also be used in conjunction with the shortcode [mbr_password_send] with the automation_id parameter to keep an audit trail in ActiveCampaign of when a lost password email request is made.
Usage
The URL used for the Contact Password Reset webhook is constructed using URL segments.
The URL segment structure required is as follows:
site_url/mbr/contact/password_reset/security_code
The URL is used for the webhook URL in an ActiveCampaign automation.
A WordPress reset password email will only be sent to contacts who satisfy the login requirements, see WordPress Login, for the site to which the webhook is submitted.
For this email to be valid and permit a password reset a WordPress user must exist.
Therefore ActiveMember360 will automatically create a WordPress user with a username and email address the same as that of the ActiveCampaign contact if they do not already exist. The other WordPress user settings will be as detailed within Default WordPress User Settings when using ActiveMember360.
The WordPress user will only be created for the ActiveCampaign contact if:
The WordPress user does not already exist with the same email address as that of the contact for whom the webhook is triggered.
The contact satisfies the login requirements, see WordPress Login, for the
site_urlused by the webhook.
No WordPress new user login details emails are sent when using Contact Password Reset.
