How to edit the default template for the email address verification

[Vignesh R]

I set up the email authentication and a confirmation email followed next. Firebase provides a default template for the email address verification. I am unable to edit the Message. Is there any work around for that?

Hi Vignesh,

The email templates for address verification and address change can't be edited at present (you can edit the email verification message). See the help bubble for explanation:

Sorry, that should have said "(you can edit the change password message)".

Thanks a lot. My intention is to send a welcome email to the user once they signed up. I thought I can use the email address verification for that purpose. Would you like to give an advice on any workarounds for that?

I can use the password change email template for that, but the obvious question is what happens when the user actually wants to change the password.

Thanks.

I don't think you're going to be able to pull off both with these transactional emails. I guess you could get creative with the reset password email so that it works for new users and resets. Pretty sure others have done the same.

If you want something flexible here, I'd recommend setting up a service to listen on the appropriate path (wherever you save the user account on registration) and trigger another service to send the email. Firebase can't really do this for you yet.

The procedure is now done with Cloud Functions for Firebase, announced as publicly available in Google's Next conference on the first days of March 2017.

Here's an official example in GIT to send Welcome- and Goodbye-Emails to users: https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/tree/master/quickstarts/email-users

I used that example as a base for our needs and it worked perfectly since the implementation of the test itself.

One Tip: if you ever need the Cloud Functions for Firebase to access more data of the database that isn't accesible for the current user, you can use firebase-admin NodeJs module.

[Vignesh R]

Thanks a lot David. 

Can you explain more about the firebase-admin NodeJs module?

Regards,

Vignesh
