(Quick Reference)

1 Overview

The Email Confirmation plugin allows you to send any number of confirmation emails to users, for any purpose you like.

A confirmation email contains the text you wish to send, and a link back to the plugin. If the user clicks the link your application will receive a callback event and can then redirect the user to the appropriate page after noting the confirmation occurred.

Version 2.0 and higher have been re-worked to leverage the events mechanisms in Platform Core instead of the nasty callback mechanism of 1.x, and sending of mail has been abstracted so that you can push mail to e.g. a queue instead.

The sending of mail is performed using the Grails Mail plugin so you must have that configured appropriately.

To send a confirmation you call the sendConfirmation method, and listen for Platform Core events as described in the reference section for that method.

The User Guide ends there!

There is some great guide documentation that takes the form of a very low-priced commercial e-book called The Email Confirmation Plugin available DRM-free with free updates.

Basic reference documentation is included here in the panel on the right, but you will find the e-book an invaluable guide to getting going, understanding many of the user experience considerations around confirmations, and making the most of the plugin.

I greatly appreciate your support.
