Check E-mail

The Check E-mail trigger verifies that the given email address exists in the database before sending out an email. In a typical Forgot Password Form, the user enters an e-mail address, and the password is sent to that address. The trigger is used to make sure the address is valid before the e-mail message is sent.

The trigger is automatically generated by the Create Forgot Password Form server behavior, and also by checking the "Forgot Password" checkbox in the Login Form Wizard. If you decide to create your forgot_password page manually, the trigger can be added directly from the Application panel, Server Behaviors -> + -> MX Kollection -> User Login -> Advanced -> Check E-mail.

The trigger interface will then appear:

For instructions on completing this dialog box, see the Advanced tab. For the Check E-mail trigger, by default the Priority is set to 20 and the Type is BEFORE, as it should execute before the transaction takes place.

Note: If you use this server behavior on the ColdFusion server model, a file named Application.cfm will be automatically generated in the site root folder. Do not delete this file, as it contains settings related to session variables used by the server behavior and the current application. If you remove this file or modify it, application pages that use sessions will not function properly.
