Use partial registration when the end user supplies some details, such as their name and email address, but must complete their registration later; for example, to set their password.

Partial registration can be used in the following situations:

A Zephr Admin user starts registration for an end user at an event, such as a conference
A third-party system provides some end user details to Zephr, for example when using social sign-on
Migrating multiple end users from a legacy system

Following the partial registration, a Complete User Registration email must be sent to the provided email address. This allows the end user to follow a link to complete the registration process.

The Complete User Registration email can be sent manually to an individual end user using the Admin Console, or it can be triggered using the Public API whenever an end user is created. For further information on these methods, see Send a Complete Registration Link Email below.

To set up partial registration, you must do the following:

Allow partial registration for users, as described in Allow Partial Registration below
Build a rule that includes a Partially Registered decision point in the registered user section of the rules canvas, as described in Build the Rule below
Send a Complete Registration Link email to the partially registered user, as described in Send a Complete Registration Link Email below

Allow Partial Registration

To allow partial registration for your users, complete the following steps:

Select Identity from the main menu
Select Settings from the options
The Settings screen displays.
Select the Allow Partial Registration checkbox
Select the Save button

Build the Rule

To use partial registration on your site, add a Partial Registration decision point to a standalone rule for your register or login page for registered users.

To add the Partial Registration decision block, complete the following steps:

When the end user follows the link in the Complete User Registration email, they land on the page containing the Complete Registration Form, with a partially-registered Zephr session. This allows them to add the requested information to complete their registration, as illustrated below:

Send a Complete Registration Link Email

You can send a link to the complete registration form to the email address supplied by the end user in their partial registration manually from the Admin Console, as described in Admin Console Method below.

You can also use the Public API to send a POST request to deliver the link, as described in Public API Method below.

Note: You can edit the default, or create a custom, User Complete Registration template using the Email Template library. For further information, see the Email Templates topic.

Admin Console Method

To manually send a link to the end user, complete the following steps:

Public API Method

You can also send a POST request to the Deliver Complete Registration Link email using the Public API.

This method can be used to automatically trigger the email when a user is added to Zephr; for example, when migrating a lot of users from another system.

For example, the following POST request sends a Deliver Complete Registration Link email to the addresses specified in the <email_address> fields and displays the page defined in the <redirect_path> field when the end user follows the link:

POST /blaize/token-exchange
{
"identifiers": {
"email_address": ""
},
"delivery": {
"method": "email",
"destination": "",
"action": "completeRegistration",
"redirect": ""
}
}
