Resend Email Confirmation

Description

This API resends the email confirmation email message to a user. It applies only to the apps which have the "Require email confirmation" option enabled. If the user status is "email confirmation pending", then an email with the confirmation link is resent, otherwise an error occurs.

Method

[Backendless.shared.userService resendEmailConfirmationWithIdentity:(NSString *)identityValue responseHandler:^(void)responseHandler errorHandler:^(Fault *)errorHandler];
Backendless.shared.userService.resendEmailConfirmation(identityValue: String, responseHandler: (() -> Void)!, errorHandler: ((Fault) -> Void)!)

where:

Argument                Description
identityValue Value in a column marked as identity in the Users table. By default a Backendless application has email as the identity column. In that case the parameter for the API should be the email address of a user. Can be a string number or number.
responseHandler Handles successful result of an asynchronous call.
errorHandler Handles fault result of an asynchronous call.

Return Value

None. If the API request completes successfully, it means an email confirmation message has been sent to the user. Otherwise, an error will be returned.

Examples

The example below resends a new confirmation email to the "alice@yourmail.com".

[Backendless.shared.userService resendEmailConfirmationWithIdentity:@"alice@yourmail.com" responseHandler:^{
    // handle response
} errorHandler:^(Fault *fault) {
    // handle error
}];
Backendless.shared.userService.resendEmailConfirmation(identity: "alice@yourmail.com", responseHandler: {
    // handle response
}, errorHandler: { fault in
    // handle error
})
