Add email verification on sign up

[sladyn98]

User Story: As a user I want get a confirmation email when I register with papercups on the signup page.

[sladyn98]

With respect to this would we want the email to contain a kind of password or just a link which directly gets us into the app.

@sladyn98 would your team be able to help contribute to this one?

[sladyn98]

@cheeseblubber Yeah sure

[cheeseblubber]

Verification email would clean up our email database so we don't have a bunch of fake emails

Since we use pow this will be relatively easy task, I can take on @cheeseblubber can you spec out what is the notification message you would like the user to see eg "Almost there, please verify your email" and the contents of the email itself

[reichert621]

@flmel feel free to use whatever message you want for now :) it should be pretty easy to change it later if we want to

to start off, something like this should be fine:

Subject:

Please verify your email to complete your setup with Papercups

Message:

Please click the link below to verify your email: [link with email verification token here]

Thank you! Papercups Team

Is this still open?

Was poking around at this and saw a place where it could be done at. When a user registers the "enqueue_welcome_email" function is called in the "create" function on the "registration_controller" to use the "SendWelcomeEmail" worker.

Could the process be done in that so when a welcome email is sent it also asks for email verification?

@LeviLong01 Thanks for your interest, I guess @cheeseblubber would be able to help you here

@LeviLong01 I would keep it separate right now. I m not sure if that function is active at the moment but you can follow a similar pattern to the welcome email
