How to Enable Email Verification in Webflow
With Memberstack, enabling email verification is easy. Here's how:
Step 1: Navigate to Email Settings in your Memberstack dashboard.
Step 2: Click the toggle at the bottom of the Email Settings page to prevent unverified members from accessing gated content.
Step 3: Create a "Please verify your email" page and enter the page URL into Memberstack. We will redirect all unverified members to this page when they signup or log in.
Step 4: We automatically send a verification message to the address they used to sign up. Still, they can re-send the verification email if they didn’t receive it by placing the following data attribute on the button: data-ms-action="resend-verification-email".
Step 5: Alternatively, if you prefer to prompt verification after signup, you can disable the toggle at the bottom of the Email Settings to allow members regular access to your site. You can then use data attributes to show and hide content from verified or unverified members.
Step 6: You can check if a member has been verified or not via the dashboard.
Step 7: Customize the "from" address by following the steps in this guide to branded emails from Memberstack.
