December 2024 - New Feature: "Email with prior registration" login system

At Cool Tabs, we are launching a new registration option for campaigns. Until now, you could choose between two registration methods for participants (both compatible):

• Social Login registration (Facebook, Google, Hotmail, Yahoo...).
• Anonymous registration, where users manually complete their information (including their email) in the participation form.

Now, we’ve added a third option: Email with a code registration, a more robust and secure system that uniquely identifies users. This is particularly useful for multi-participation campaigns, campaign groups, and features like point accumulation or personalized rankings.

TEST DE EMAIL WITH CODE REGISTRATION FORM DEMO

How the email with prior registration works

The process is simple and ensures a seamless user experience.

1) Accessing the campaign.
The user clicks the "Participate" button. A modal window will display the configured registration options. If email login is enabled, two options will appear:

• • Email (new code registration system).
  • Phone (coming soon).

2) Email entry.
Upon selecting the email option, the user must enter their email address into a simplified form.

3) Email verification.
After entering their email, a 6-character code will be sent to the provided address. The user must enter this code in the verification form to proceed.

4) Campaign participation.
Once the code is verified, the user gains access to the participation form and is registered securely and uniquely.

How it differs from anonymous registration

Anonymous registration requires the participant, if the email field is enabled in the entry form, to fill in his or her email manually, without the need for additional verification.

While useful in certain scenarios, it does not ensure that the entered email is valid (unless the 'Verify email address with a validation email' option is enabled). It also doesn’t allow tracking the user across multiple participations or campaigns.

In contrast, the new email with prior registration system:

• Verifies the user’s identity through a code sent to their email.
• Uniquely registers participants, enabling their tracking across multi-participation campaigns, campaign groups, and features like rankings or point accumulation.
• Ensures the email provided is valid and accessible.

How to activate this registration option

To enable the email with code-based registration, follow these steps:

1. Access the editor of the campaign you wish to configure.
2. Go to the Registration section.
3. Select the Email with code option in the registration methods settings.

Other Specifications

• The email used to send the code is not configurable at this time.
• This system is independent of anonymous login. However, if both are enabled, we recommend adjusting the text and design of the buttons to avoid confusion.

We are also working on adding new options and adjustments to enhance this functionality:

• Verification via SMS: Soon, you’ll be able to use a phone number to identify users.

This new system ensures greater security and personalization for your campaigns, allowing participants to identify themselves uniquely and enabling you to track their actions over time.

Enable email login in your next campaigns and start taking advantage of all its benefits!
