Overview

Login emails are sent to members accessing your members area. They provide secure authentication through verification codes or magic links.

​
Verification Code

Trigger: Sent when a member requests a verification code to log in. Template: member-login-verification-code Key sections:
  • Dark banner with lock icon
  • Large monospaced verification code in a bordered card
  • Expiration notice (configurable minutes)
  • Security notice for unrequested codes
Variables: The verification code is displayed in a prominent, easy-to-read format with wide letter spacing for clarity. Trigger: Sent when a member requests a magic link to log in. Template: member-login-magic-link Key sections:
  • Dark banner with link icon
  • “Access Members Area” CTA button
  • Expiration notice
  • Security notice for unrequested links
Variables:
Magic links are single-use. Once clicked, they cannot be used again. If the link expires, the member needs to request a new one.

​
Security considerations

  • Both verification codes and magic links expire after a configurable number of minutes
  • Both methods include a notice telling recipients to ignore the email if they didn’t request it
  • Links are single-use to prevent sharing or replay attacks

​
When your brand has no sending account

Login codes and links always go out, so a customer can sign in even before you set up SMTP or an email integration. If your brand cannot send them itself, ElasticFunnels sends a plain version:
  • The sender name is your brand’s name. The address is an ElasticFunnels no-reply address, so it never looks like it came from a person.
  • Replies go to your brand’s support email, if you set one in your brand settings.
  • Emails → Logs lists it as Sent, with its subject, and the channel reads “ElasticFunnels mailer”.
Your own template and From address are used as soon as your brand has SMTP or an email integration. See Sending setup. Order and subscription emails work differently: they are never sent by ElasticFunnels. Without a sending account they are skipped, and you get a “Choose a sending account” action.

Customizing login emails

Login templates are configured at the brand level. To customize:
  1. Open Settings → Apps → Emails in the sidebar
  2. Find “Member Login Verification Code” or “Member Login Magic Link”
  3. Edit in the Visual Builder or Code Editor
  4. Keep the {{ code }} or {{ magic_link_url }} variables — removing them will break authentication
