ECM Auto Log-In: How to enable accesing secured content from emails with Email campaign manager
First of all, keep in mind this is just a “prove of concept” and all the security concerns this kind of solutions could have.
It’s common to include links to secured areas of your website like “manage your preferences”. Usually the user has to be redirected to a log in page before accessing the expected page. With this module the user will be automatically logged in, making your email integration much more user friendly.
Current functionality:
- ECM Integration This module don’t add any extra parameter to the links. All the functionality is based on ECM API
- Multi-site support. Each site can have it’s how settings. You can specify for which sites the system is listening.
- Double security check The module can be configured to use the campaign and the automation state as token before logging in a user, reducing the chances of “unexpected” users.
- Link expiration It will let you decide after how long a link won’t log in the users.
- Persistent log in You can decide it the user will be remembered the next time he access the site.
- Notifications You can show a notification message to your users to give them any sort of information.
- Pre-configured to use notify.js Style and text configurable per site.
- Token replacement for message text (same functionality as in the email)
