How can I require an approval workflow for new adorers?

When adorers sign up for an adorer account, their registrations are automatically activated, and they can log in to your We Adore Him website.

If you want to vet adorers before granting them access to create adoration commitments, claim substitute requests, view other adorers' info—or if you notice an increase in spam registrations—consider using the Adorer Approval Workflow feature.

Enable this feature with the Enable approval workflow and Auto-approval code fields at Admin » Settings » Onboarding.

When the auto-approval code is enabled, it is included in the Signup URL at Admin » Settings » Onboarding.

Share this Signup URL with trusted adorers. The auto-approval code will be applied automatically.
Share the Signup URL without the auto-approval code with the general public, such as on your website, social media, etc.

Approval workflow fields on the settings page — Auto-approval code setting

The adorer signup form will include an Auto-approval code field when this feature is enabled, unless the code is already provided in the URL.

If an adorer leaves this field empty when signing up:

Their account's status is set to Blocked.
Administrators and captains are notified (if the New adorer registration needs approval admin notification is enabled on their account).

After an administrator or captain activates the blocked adorer's account:

The adorer's account status is changed to Active.
The welcome email and text message are sent to the adorer.
Other administrators and captains are notified (if the New adorer registration needs approval admin notification is enabled on their account).

Anyone who enters the correct auto-approval code during onboarding will bypass administrator approval.
