Token Logins & URL Parameters
Introduction
Our system can use token logins to automatically log a user in from a link. This might be useful for use in an email campaign, an event registration confirmation email or something similar along those lines.
Instructions
A token login is a URL (web link) which consists of several parts and it then put together in a specific way:
- A video/event URL
- An email address
- A token/MD5 Hash (these are both the same thing in this context)
You’ll need a list of email addresses you’d like to send the token login URL to. This should include the email address and another column with the token to be used for that email address; this is important as each token is unique for each email address.
All the three parts mentioned above need to then be constructed into a single url which can be sent to the recipient. This can either be done manually, but if you are using a Email Service Provider (ESP) if can be done directly in the email construction, for more details on this you’ll need to consult the ESP documentation.
Please make sure to test some of these at random by manually generating the link and clicking it to make sure it works.
