So I need to send a confirmation email every time a user signs up. There are two ways of signing up -- either when a user hits my login page, or when he is invited by another user. In both cases, I want to send separate types of email (in the second case, I also want to tell them that you were sent invitation by foo#bar.com person etc.). What is the best way to do this? I am using devise for rails.
use action mailer for sending email
you can send email by using callback means that if you user sign up then below method call
after_create :send_mail_to_xxx_xxx
def send_mail_to_xxx_xxx
...
...
end

I have devise invitable gem
Hooked up in my app as well as devise.
Everything working fine. When I create new user, they are saved in database and mailer sends email an email address. User clicks on email, sets password and then is logged in.
But sometimes these users lose their email or rather can’t find it in their email inbox. I’d like to have a resend invite button on the users index page.
When user clicks resend, I want the invites user to get another email sent to them.
Had anyone successfully accomplished this with devise invitable? If so, can you share how?
The gem adds a resend_invitation configuration parameter on your invitable-enabled model. From the docs:
resend_invitation: resend invitation if user with invited status is invited again. Enabled by default.
So, calling .invite! again on a record that's marked as invited will do the trick for you.
I'm trying to add email confirmation to a model called "Project" in a Rails app: users should be able to set an email address for a project, which is not saved until they click a confirmation link sent to the email address provided.
Although I have no need for its authentication features, I thought the Devise gem might be useful. I was hoping to use :reconfirmable to implement the feature: when the user tries to save an email to the project, it instead is saved to the unconfirmed_email column until they confirm.
It appears, partly, to be working -- the database is updated correctly, a token is generated, the "confirmation_sent_at" field is set. But no email template is rendered (and no email is sent). Looking at the code path in lib/devise/models.rb I can see how, before the email field is saved to, a method is called that intercepts that save and instead saves to unconfirmed_email. But where is the email send actually triggered? What do I have to do to activate it?
Assuming that you have correctly configured Devise to use the :confirmable feature and configured your email properly (as described in this answer). Then it should be as simple as calling this:
user.send_confirmation_instructions # where user is one of your Devise users
At the very least, making the send_confirmation_instructions call should show that the email is sending in the Rails log. If that is the case but you don't ever receive an email then you have your email configured incorrectly.
I have an app in which companies can add customers. Each company has its own email.
Currently, when a new customer is created, they receive devise emails (confirmation, password reset etc.) through our domain email, but I want to the customers to see the email as being sent from the one specified by the company instead.
How can I intercept these emails and set the from parameter?
Read this article. It describe how to create custom mailer for Devise.
Inside of your custom mailer you can assign appropriate values to from field.
I am using Devise with ActionMailer. I would like to allow users to create an account without email if they use Twitter. But I still need devise:confirmable if they choose to add email later on.
However, Devise automatically send confirmation email when an user create a new account, even if user does not supply it. Therefore, I got error when deploy my Rails app to Heroku:
ArgumentError (At least one recipient (To, Cc or Bcc) is required to send a message):
How can I prevent Devise or ActionMailer from sending confirmation email when there's no email address?
Thank you.
Devise has a skip_confirmation! method that should allow you to accomplish this, check out the confirmable.rb
Devise is a fantastic gem available for basic or omniauth authentication sign_up and other things like sessions maintenance, resend confirmation password etc .
But is it possible using devise to map multiple email addresses to same user ?
Like I have 3,4 email ids such as
sahil#abc.com
sahil#xyz.com
sahil#mno.com
Use Case and Example
I have already registered with my first email id i.e. sahil#abc.com using an automated system and account is created. But i always prefer to use my other email_id i.e. sahil#xyz.com. So, i want to build a system where user can login using any one of the above email adresses with the same/different password. But there should be one single account for the user.
I'd say:
you've one email field
you have other emails stored somewhere
You could tell Devise that you allow login based on different fields.
I think the cooler way is to give a try to override the 'authentication_keys' method, as it allows you to define the keys.
But how ever , following link has a working solution :)
HTH
Here is what i exactly needed RoR Devise: Sign in with username OR email
def self.find_for_database_authentication(conditions={})
(self.find_by_email(conditions[:email])) || (AuthorizedEmail.confirmed.find_by_email(conditions[:email]).user if AuthorizedEmail.confirmed.find_by_email(conditions[:email]).present?)
end
What it does is :
Firstly tries to find the user record for authentication by searching with email id.
If it gets the record it returns the record else we go to next part.
It finds in the authorised emails table if there exists any validated and confirmed email in the table. If there is such an entry, it tries to find the user related to that particular authorised email and returns that.
