      Article summary

      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​.

      Setting

      Description

      ​Contact​

      This input field defines the contact who receives a new password. Use the symbol to select one contact.

      ​Use Event Parameter​

      When selected, this checkbox sends a new password to the contact involved in the event.

      Define Delay​

      In this area, you can define a time delay between the event and the resulting job. If you define a delay, the system waits the specified amount of time after the event takes place before executing the event-based job. If you do not define a delay, the system executes the job immediately after the event takes place.

      Hint:

      Engage calculates the selection for an event-based job when the job is executed, not when the event takes place. When you define a delay, the selection is calculated after the delay

      • ​Delay:​ Defines whether there is a delay between the event and the resulting job.

        • ​No: ​There is no delay between the event and the resulting job. When Engage registers the event, the system executes the job immediately.

        • ​Yes: ​Creates a delay between the event and the resulting job.
          ​Unit:​ Defines the unit of time with which Engage calculates the delay.
          ​Value:​ Defines the duration of the delay.
