Hi

We have disabled the normal welcome email and are using Auto Actions to send one of 3 customised welcome emails, depending on what they entered in certain fields.

This works nicely and we send the email using the OnAfterUserConfrmation event.

Trouble is one users seems to have bookmarked the confirmation code url and they are using that each time they visit the site and are receiving a new welcome email each time.

I know this is user error but our code should somehow check if the person WAS ALREADY confirmed before sending another welcome email.

I'm trying to think on what trigger we can do this check? if we stick to OnAfterUserConfrmation it will be too too late wont it to see if they were already confirmed BEFORE they clicked the confirm link again?

Can you think of a better way to catch this scenario eg if we could use a beforeUserConfirm could that check the status of confirmed before actually confirming the user and then only sending the email if they werent already confirmed but are now they clicked the url?

sorry if confusing..

thank you

onBeforeUserConfirmationRequest

So guess I could add an action (type = action) with this trigger onBeforeUserConfirmationRequest to check the value in the CONFIRMED field to see if already confirmed.... and if NOT already confirmed then call my other three actions that check things and send welcome email.

Then if I remove the trigger OnAfterUserConfrmation from each of these 3 email actions they wont run unless this first action tells them to

Sound good?
