mbr_genpass
Overview
ActiveMember360 mbr_genpass is used to generate and store a random password for an ActiveCampaign contact. Unless otherwise specified, a WordPress user will also be created. It automatically executes upon receiving an ActiveCampaign HTTP POST sent by an ActiveCampaign webhook.
Alternatively a specified password can be stored in preference to the random password.
Usage
The URL used for mbr_genpass is constructed using your site URL and parameters.
A sample of the URL structure required is as follows:
site_url/?mbr_genpass=my_security_code
The mbr_genpass URL is used for the webhook URL in an ActiveCampaign automation.
mbr_genpass will never overwrite an existing password in ActiveCampaign. It will only generate a new password and store it in ActiveCampaign if one does not already exist.
Any generated password will satisfy the password requirements defined in ActiveMember360, Settings, Passwords.
When mbr_genpass creates a WordPress user the username of the user is always set to the email address of the user.
No new user or login credentials emails are sent by mbr_genpass.
