Thinking thru code to email user checking if they are still there to tell others their email is still valid on my site
A monthly cron job to email site’s users to click a link to verify they are still using the email listed in their account. Assumption that if user logs into site, their info is up to date, too.
Every 30 days, check if user has not verified in last 30 days
- or, has not logged into site in last 30 days
- If not, send email with link
- update tracking table with internal_table_id, date, time, user_id, event_code (for ‘validating attempt’)
When user clicks on embedded link in email,
- script parses URL
- update tracking table with internal_table_id, date, time, user_id, event_code (for ‘verfied’)
I’ll use the tracking info to put an icon, next to their name in the list of users, to show if the info is current.
BTW, writing this out helps in seeing the event, and I can’t always find that scrap of paper I first started to write this all out!
