Automation Rule: Password Setting Requested

Introduction

This rule automatically sends a secure link to a new member, allowing them to set their password for the very first time. It is a key part of the new account creation process, ensuring members can securely access the client portal and mobile app.

  • Securely Onboard New Members: Automatically send a unique, one-time link for new members to create their own password safely.
  • Improve the Sign-up Experience: Provide a smooth and professional first interaction, allowing members to immediately set up their online account access.
  • Enhance Account Security: Ensures that only the member can create their own password, eliminating the need for temporary passwords.
  • Automate a Critical Setup Step: Save staff time and eliminate manual errors by automating the password creation process for every new account.

Before You Start

  1. Navigate to PGM -> Automation -> Automation Rules.
  2. Press 'Add automation rule' to create a new rule.
  3. In the pop-up window, follow these steps:
    • Create a unique name: For example, "New Member Password Setup".
    • Select 'Notification' as the Action.
    • Select the automation rule: Choose Password Setting Requested from the list.
    • A new configuration window will open. This rule triggers for every new account that needs a password; there are no specific conditions to add.

Action

Configure who receives the notification and how they receive it.

  • Choose the notification type:
    • Email: This is the required method for this rule, as it sends a clickable link that is necessary for the password creation process.
  • Select Notification Recipients: This notification is designed to be sent directly to the User (the new member who needs to set their password).
  • (Optional) Set a schedule:
    • Send notifications from (HH:MM) / to (HH:MM): Restrict sending to certain times of the day.
    • Delay Notification: Wait a specific amount of time after the request before sending.
    • Send notification not more often than (in days): Prevent sending multiple messages.

Notification Content

This is where you create the actual message that will be sent.

For Email:

  • Language: Select the language for the notification.
  • Subject: Write a clear and direct subject line (e.g., "Set Your Password for [CLUB_NAME]").
  • Template: Design your email using HTML. It is crucial to include the [SET_PASSWORD_LINK] token as a prominent, clickable button or link.

Available Tokens

You can use tokens to personalize the message and provide the unique password setup link.

User Tokens:

  • [USER_FIRST_NAME]: The member's first name (e.g., "John").
  • [USER_LAST_NAME]: The member's last name (e.g., "Smith").
  • [USER_NAME]: The member's full name (e.g., "John Smith").
  • [USER_EMAIL]: The member's email address where the setup link will be sent.
  • [USER_HOME_CLUB_NAME]: The name of the member's primary gym location.

Contract Tokens:

  • [PAYMENT_PLAN_NAME]: The name of the member's payment plan.

Password Setting Tokens:

  • [SET_PASSWORD_TOKEN]: A unique security code embedded within the setup link.
  • [SET_PASSWORD_LINK]: The unique, clickable link the member must press to go to the password creation page. This is the most important token for this rule.

Example Output
