Hello,

I would like to send email notification containing an URL to a perspective page. When user follow this link, is it possible to autologin to the page ? I would like to directly connect without using username and password.

Thanks

Where is the email coming from? The Ignition gateway or from somewhere else?

From the Ignition Gateway (Report Module or Gateway Script) using an SMTP

Each week we send an email with a PDF containing Data Overview.
Instead of sending a pdf I would like to send a link to a perspective view with auto-logging.

OK. I think we have a small language problem here. Maybe, "I would like to send email notification containing an URL of a perspective page." You want to send an email to a list of users and the email will contain a link to a Perspective page. I read it that you wanted to send an email to a Perspective page.

What do you mean by "secured link"?

Yeah exactly :laughing:

The only (sort of) secure autologins on links are with TEMPORARY (and idealy even single use) tokens.
It seems weird to send a summary that is a link that would only work for a short duration.

I think the only way you could really do this as things stand right now would be to have a separate project that is public with a special URL where one of the parameters is passed with some sort of "token" that's saved in a DB, and when the user clicks the link with that token, if the token doesn't exist in the DB it shows an error, otherwise you show the respective page/report, etc related to that token.

Keep in mind that this would be public without any security AT ALL. So anyone with that link could access it.
