When is the ‘Finish Account Creation’ message template sent to our customers?

Environment:

Message Templates, Emails,Configuration Settings
Oracle B2C Service 

The ‘Finish Account Creation’ message template needs to match the following conditions:

• EGW_PASSWD_CREATE = 1
• EGW_AUTO_CONT_CREATE = 1 (for contacts created via Techmail-S)
• EU_CUST_PASSWD_ENABLED = 1

Resolution:

The EGW_PASSWD_CREATE is used to automatically generate a password for a new contact, but the contact will be required to manually reset the password in order to log in to the end-user pages. A message with instructions and a link to a password setup page will be emailed to the new contact.

When an existing customer’s first email/reply reaches the application:

1. The Techmail-S utility analyzes the existing contact record and if there is no value for the login field, the utility will create a login ID and generate a random password.
2. Next, the ‘Finish Account Creation’ message template is sent to the contact.

Otherwise, when a new contact submits an incident via email, the Techmail-S utility will create a contact record (if EGW_AUTO_CONT_CREATE is enabled) and the ‘Finish Account Creation’ template is then sent to the customer.

Notes:

If the login field is manually populated, the customer will not receive the ‘Finish Account Creation’ message template.
