Thank you for your feedback
This job sends an email with a new password to a contact. The password is randomly generated.
A contact cannot log into the Engage system. Your contacts only need a Engage password if you manage a preference center where contacts can change their message preferences.
You cannot use this job to send a new password to a system user who logs into your Engage user interface to work in Engage. To send a new password to a system user, use the following job: Send New Password to System User (S).
Hint:
The designation (C) means contact-related. In general, you only combine contact (C) events with contact (C) jobs. For more information, see Contact (C) vs. System (S) Automations.
