API General

There’s a way to create a new client using the API (method addClient) and create a password for the client?
I’m using the extra feature to clients have password, but I’m not finding a way to create a client with their password at the same time.

please call signUpClient($clientData)
where clientData should be

{
    name: "Frances T. Perez",
    phone: "+1502-810-4521",
    email: "FrancesTPerez@teleworm.us",
    address1: "3872 Earnhardt Drive",
    address2: "Louisville, KY 40219",
    city: Louisville,
    zip: 3872,
    password : 123456
 }

It will send email to client with his password

There’s a date to update the docs?

I got it working, thanks.

Is there a way to use this method without having an email sent to the newly created user?

the only way to do this is to alter your email settings in Email and SMS settings. But this will affect all bookings

Where do I find such settings? At path @/settings/templates@ I find options relatives to service subscriptions, comments, cancelling and so on… but nothing about actual registration.

Go to Settings → Email and SMS settings in admin interface of your company

Sorry, but this is already the screen I was looking at, and I can’t find such setting. Could you be more explicit?

Redmine Admin wrote:

oh.. sorry for misunderstanding. Yes, you are in the right place. It is impossible to turn off such emails unfortunately.

Thanks for clarifying :slight_smile:

How about proceeding in two steps:

  1. registering the user with a fake email address
  2. updating the user’s email address with the correct one?

That way, this email would still be sent, but the user would not receive it, right?

Well, you can try this workaround of course. But it is something which is NOT recommended by our dev team.

I will try thanks.

Another question - can I edit the body of that email?

Yes, it is last template on Email and SMS settings page called " New user login notification"
