Instant User Activation Without Manual Email Confirmation

The instant, IDP-based activation process that uses API allows you to quickly add invited users to the AppXite platform. The users do not need to manually click on the confirmation links that we send in activation emails.

 

You can choose between instant activation of invited users and manual activation, which requires clicking on a confirmation link in an activation email.

 

What do you need to use this feature?


To use instant, API-based user activation, you need the following:

  • Active AppXite partner account.
  • Your own identity provider solution (IDP) with added users and their IDs in your IDP.
  • Access to API and our API endpoint details that allow you to integrate your AppXite account with your IDP solution.

How does instant IDP-based user activation work?


When
you're creating users through the API, you can decide if you want them to manually activate their AppXite accounts by clicking on a confirmation link they received in an invitation email or if you want to add and activate them on AppXite instantly.

 

You can choose instant, IDP-based user activation by setting the ShouldActivateByEmail flag in your API request to false.

 

This flag prevents the platform from sending activation emails to invited users. Setting the flag to true triggers sending out confirmation emails.

 

Other relevant to this feature parameters that you need to include in the API request include:

 

  • ExternalIdthe user's ID in your own IDP solution. Initially ExternalId could be random unique value. When user logs in for the 1st time with selected IDP, ExternalId updates automatically with correct one from External system after becoming permanent. It works with multiple IDPs.
  • IdentityProviderId – the ID of the IDP solution.
NOTE! Partners can invite users also with 'account' method but in this case they should set 'ShouldActivateByEmail = true'. To get the Id used for Account or any other Id of IdentityProvider reach out to Appxite Support.

 

For all the other parameters and detailed API information about the POST request related to user creation, check our API documentation:

Conclusion

If you integrate your AppXite account with your own IDP solution that you use internally to verify and manage your users, you can quickly add new users to AppXite and instantly activate their accounts. You no longer need to wait for them to click manually on the confirmation links in activation emails.

 

Removing the need for email-based verification is particularly useful for larger companies that have many users that they want to invite to AppXite.
