Modified on: Tue, 8 Aug, 2023 at 11:12 AM


Info! Administrators users only can perform this actions. 

With your portal, you can decide if you want to send the activation email when you are creating your clients' Vaults or after prepopulating those Vaults. 

If you want to activate the Vault after creating the Vault here are some instructions about how to do it.

Please note that if your system currently has a Single Sign-On (SSO) integration enabled, you may skip this action since the status will depend on the integration. If the integration is not active yet, you may send the activation email to your client. Please ensure you used the same email address in the Vault as the one is used in the integrated system.

Once you send the activation email the status of the Vault will change from "Created" to "Invited". If you noticed an error in the email, you will be able to edit the profile and resend the activation email while the Vault is on still on Invited status.

In what status the Vault needs to be to send the activation email?

You can send an activation email when the Vault has any of these statuses and in these circumstances:


STATUSDESCRIPTION
CreatedAt any time, following the steps above.
InvitedYou send the activation email, but the user hasn't completed the account activation.
ActiveThe user clicked on the email but didn't set the new password or accepted the terms and conditions. You will notice that in this case the user doesn't have the last login date register, but the status said Active. Learn more about activation errors.
InactiveYou can resend the activation email to a Vault that has an “inactive” status, but only if this client did never log in to the system. You can verify this information if the Last Login in your “Client List’ is blank.
On the details page, you will see the "Send Activation Email" option under "Actions".

Recommendations

We always recommend calling or sending an email before sending the activation email by the system; that way, your client will be expecting it. If they don't find it in their inbox, ask them to check their Spam / Junk folder, and whitelist this email to be able to receive future emails like resetting passwords, notifications, etc.

Below is a template that you can use:
