Overview

This node operation sends a reset password email to a user associated with a distributor. It is useful in scenarios where a user has forgotten their password or needs to regain access to their account securely. By triggering this operation, the system initiates the process of sending an email containing instructions or a link to reset the user's password.

Practical examples include:

  • An administrator needing to help a distributor's user reset their password.
  • Automated workflows that trigger password reset emails based on certain conditions or requests.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the user for whom the reset password email will be sent. This scopes the response and action specifically to that user.

Output

The output JSON typically contains confirmation details about the reset password email request. This may include status messages indicating whether the email was successfully sent or if there were any issues. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms the initiation of the password reset process.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing distributors and users.
  • The node communicates with an external API endpoint responsible for handling user password resets.
  • Proper configuration of the API base URL and headers (e.g., Accept and Content-Type as application/json) is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing user Id: Ensure the "Id" property is correctly provided and corresponds to an existing user.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
    • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and the status of the external service.
  • Error Messages:

    • "User not found": Indicates the provided Id does not match any user; verify the Id value.
    • "Unauthorized": Suggests issues with API credentials; reauthenticate or update credentials.
    • "Failed to send email": Could be due to service issues or invalid user email; retry or check user data.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service’s API documentation for detailed information on the password reset endpoint.
  • n8n documentation on managing credentials and HTTP request nodes for further customization.
