For the users whose authentication with email/password identity, this page will conveniently allow users to log in or resume their account on any device with improved protection of their account.
Braincloud can facilitate the configuration of Email Authentication when you choose to support this feature in your app.
To see and edit your preferences, go to the Authentication | Email Authentication page on the dashboard.
Note: The option to edit the send verification email feature will not be available if the email service has not been configured. Additionally, the radio button for selecting the use of rich email service templates will be disabled for the same reason.
brainCloud directly supports plain-text Verification and Authentication emails. If your team would prefer nicer looking emails, an external integration with a SendGrid account is recommended.
Integrating SendGrid with brainCloud
Create a SendGrid account and create some templates for Email Verification or Password Reset, refer to our docs about Email Integration -SendGrid.
Note: New Dynamic Templates are recommended in order to use our pre-defined substitutions (i.e. {{appName}}, {{webUrl}} etc.) properly.
Click Configure button or go directly to Design | Integrations | Manage Integrations page after SendGrid account is created.
Fill in all required fields with the info from your SendGrid account.
Check the [Enable SendGrid Integration] and click Save Changes button.
Click Test button to check if the current login user can get a test email.
Enabling Verification Emails
Check the Send Verification Email checkbox.
The radio button for [Use simple plain text] will be automatically selected. Select [Use rich email service templates (recommended)] instead if want to use the nicer templates you created on your SendGrid account.
Selecting Sub-options
Rejecting Unverified Email Logins ensures users do not use a fake email when creating their identity. Your app should let them know they will be sent a verification email during credentials entry.
Send Confirmation Email may grant your users some additional peace of mind that their account is correctly set up. Additionally, selecting this feature will send a message to a guaranteed valid email. Doing so reduces your "Bounce Rate" which can improve your standing with SendGrid.
