View Full Version : How do I send a VB activation email using a 3rd party emailing service?

What URL would I send to a user to have them activate their account? I'll be sending from Verticalreponse.com and NOT from VB.

Example:

"Please click the following link to validate your account:
WHAT_GOES_HERE?"

I don't think I can use the standard VB variables. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

are you trying to give your members emails?

Yes.. I'm wanting to sent out a YOU NEED TO ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT email to each of the "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" (4,000+) and I know VB won't be able to handle that many requests. I'm using VR for that reason. To send them all out at once. What I don't know is how to best format the email.

If they can't get the activation link sent to them via a 3rd party emailer, maybe then just the link that takes them to the page where they can GET the activation link sent to them. That's all I can think of.

Thanks...
