Forgot Password Action Application Steps
1. Add the Forgot Password Action
Log in to the Kuika platform.
Open the relevant project from the Apps screen.
Go to the UI Design module.
Select the component that will initiate the password reset process (e.g. ‘Forgot Password’ button).
Select the button and add the Authorisation > Forgot Password action from the + ADD ACTION menu according to the desired trigger event (Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur, etc.).
2. Configure the Parameters
User Name (String-Required): The registered email address of the user whose password will be reset.
Don't Send Email (Boolean-Optional): Determines whether the notification is sent via email.
Language (String-Optional): The language of the password reset email (e.g., tr, en).
It is usually defined using data sources such as Action Result, Current, Form Component, Screen Input, or Fixed, and can be linked via the Symbol Picker.
Use Case: Sending a Password Reset Link
A user wants to reset their password by clicking the ‘Send Password Reset Link’ link on the login screen. The user enters their email address and the system sends the verification link to the user.
Applying the Forgot Password Action
Element: ‘Send Password Reset Link’ button
Trigger: OnClick
Action: Authorisation → Forgot Password
User Name: Current.email
Language: en
Don't Send Email: false
When the action is executed, the system sends an email containing a password reset link to the user. The user can log in by setting a new password via this link.
Forgot Password Action Advanced Customisations
Language Selection: The Language parameter can be dynamically assigned based on the user's application language (Current.language).
Notification Blocking: If there is an alternative verification method in the application (SMS, Push), email notifications can be disabled.
Password Reset Link: The page address of the link to be sent via email can be customized via the Configuration Manager.
Technical Risks and Precautions
Invalid Email: If the user's registered email address is not entered, email delivery will fail.
Notification Failure: Users should be redirected in case of email server errors or emails being sent to the spam folder.
Incorrect Language Setting: If the Language parameter is left blank, the default system language will be used; care should be taken in custom projects.
The Forgot Password action supports users in regaining access to their accounts in Kuika applications. It provides a secure and user-friendly experience through a password reset link sent via email. With the correct configuration of parameters, you can inform and redirect users in a targeted manner.
