Recovery Email: Sample Use Cases and Flows

This article shares some possible use cases your app could support, as well as a sample flow that could support each use case. This can be a helpful jumping-off point as you plan your app's implementation.

Send a recovery email to a member and redirect them back to your site's login page after they've reset their password

In this scenario, a member has forgotten their password, so you send a recovery email to them, allowing them to reset their password. After resetting their password, you redirect the member back to your login page.

1. Add a form to your site or app that allows members to request to reset their password. This form must provide you with their email address.
2. Call Query Members to check that a member exists with this email address.
3. Call Send Recovery Email, specifying the member's email address and your login page as the redirect URL.
