How do i activate a customer without a password?

[noisee]

When a user signs up for our mailing list we create a customer (via admin api) and that process automatically emails the customer a link to activate the account/verify the email. This url has the customer id and the activation token in it.

What api entry point do i pass the id and token to finish customer creation? Everything relevant i have found requires a password. As this process works without password on our Liquid site it seems like it should be possible using an api.

Thanks.

Hi Noisee,

You should be able to use GraphQL Admin API customerGenerateAccountActivationUrl mutation or the account_activation_url.json endpoint on the REST API for this.

Hello,

Those endpoints generate the email (and the contained link). I was asking about handling the link there generated that has the user id and the activation token in it.

Hi again - is this for a Hydrogen storefront?

Nope. We can use any of the other APIs.
