Automating the password reset notification step, for Shopify accounts that get created via API?

So apparently Shopify’s default behavior, when creating a new Shopify account via API, is to make the account immediately active. This is contrary to the way that an account gets handled when it’s created manually in Shopify (i.e. an invite has to be sent to the email on file, before the account is fully activated.)

Is there any way via Script (or other methods) that when a new account is created via API, that a “Password Reset” can be triggered, so that the new account’s owner can receive an email that allows them to set their password on their account (we are using Classic Accounts to be able to gatekeep access to this particular store).

I’d hate for this to have to be a manual process.

Hey @Fur_Ops !

I do not have any guidance on how to do this via API, but I’m sure it’s possible. However, you can also do this easily using our Helium Customer Fields app which gives you account creation settings for “Require email verification” which sends the customer an email to activate their account and set their password.
