Forgot Password
This API enables you to send a password reset email to the user based on the EmailAddress (registered email address) posted in the JSON body.
Alternatively, you can pass the “SearchKeyData” property and include the “SchemaName” and “Value” of any unique lead field. A password reset email will be sent to the email address associated with the lead that matches the “SearchKeyData”.
{
"SearchKeyData":{
"SchemaName":"Phone",
"Value":"+14-157415569"
}
}
If you want to send the password reset link to a phone or an alternative email, along with the “SearchKeyData”, also pass the “RecipientField” property and include the “SchemaName” of the field you want to send the link to. The field must be of data type phone or email.
{
"SearchKeyData":{
"SchemaName":"Phone",
"Value":"+14-157415569"
},
"RecipientField":{
"SchemaName":"Phone"
}
}
- The API response returns a LeadId and a TemporaryPassword
- Both the LeadId and TemporaryPassword must be passed in the Reset Password API to create a new password
Note: You must pass the public authentication key you receive from the Get Public Auth Key API response. It must be passed in the API header as Authorization = <Your Auth Key>
Here’s an example of the forgot password functionality in a sample portal. When users enter their email address, an email is sent with a reset password link.
