Contents

In the Request Password section of User Email Templates, the following variables can be used to create a time-delimited link for password.
- http://@url@@activationlink@
See Password Policy for further details.
New or Existing Users
To generate a new password for a new user or sends the words "existing password" for existing users (see Notes below)
- @checkactivatedpassword@
To generate a new password for a new user or sends the words "existing password" for existing users AND to promote user to admin/portal type user.
- @checkportalpassword@
These can be used in:
- Any Signup page message body.
- Any Applicant Tracking System applicant profile message body.
- Global Settings - user email messages - New User message and Forgot Password message.
- Any Workflow - Acknowledgment task type.
Notes
Translation
Because of the complex nature of the password creation and validation process it is not possible to automatically translate existing password into other languages. If you are sending an e-mail containing the @checkactivatedpassword@ variable you can use the following syntax to display text other than "existing password" if required.
For example, for an existing user the following will show the French translation of existing password which is Mot de passe courant. If the user has not been previously activated the syntax will provide a randomly generated password as normal:
<!--@sscalculation(if(trim("@checkactivatedpassword@")="existing password","Mot de passe courant","@checkactivatedpassword@"))-->
Processing Time
System-generated emails that contain passwords bypass the typical Service Process Manager and, hence, are sent out immediately rather than being put in an email queue.
