This article explains email verification process and purpose and provides instructions for a user to verify their email address
Email verification is the process of confirming that an email address belongs to a valid and active user. It involves sending an email to the address in question and then verifying that the recipient has received it and taken action to indicate that they are the legitimate owner of the email address.
The primary purpose of email verification is to ensure that emails are sent to valid and active email addresses, which can reduce the likelihood of emails being marked as spam or bouncing back. It is also essential for maintaining the security of sensitive information as it reduces the chances of sending emails to incorrect or unauthorised recipients.
On the Openn platform, if a user has not verified their email used when creating their profile, the Agent view of the buyer table will display a red exclamation mark next to the email.
A green verified check mark indicates that a user's email has been verified.
