Hey @User27,

That doesn't sound good. Can you tell me which magic link you are using, how you are accessing it and if your user is signed in?

@Corsac thank you for your quick response!

I have (or at least as of last week had!) the most updated versions of both D.T and the plugin.

From the error log, it looks like the issue is that it wants me to update (or fill in) most/all unanswered fields.

I don't want my users to have to fill in every field (but I would like them to fill out the fields for which they have information)...

The error log is showing this message:
update_post
status: 400
key_select value must in string format: faith_status

{When I fill in the specified field, it continues to be unable to update the contact and the error log shows that the next blank field needs to be filled in.}

@Corsac
Hi, yes I tried logging out and in a private tab this and it doesn't show the contacts. Thank you!

@AJ Ah, ok. It depends on the type of magic link (user vs contact-oriented).

I think you're asking about the user-oriented magic link, so I'll answer it first. Because it is user based, the user can find the link in the profile settings and turn it on and off. They have to be logged in to grab it and save it, but then could use it from a non-logged in state. Disciple.Tools hasn't made this link as easily available as it utilizes the user permissions. You can access this link from the backend where you create and customize the links.

Extensions (D.T) > Magic Links > Links tab: Add or select a User Contacts Update type link and then scroll down to Assigned Users and Teams and you can add the users you want here and click update and then view and copy the links. If you set them to never expire then the same link could be used continually. You can set them to refresh and come back here to grab new links, etc. Remember to balance security needs against usability needs as there are trade-offs.

However, when you create a contact-oriented magic link, there is a tile added to all the contact records titled "Apps" and it has a set of five icons on it. You can go to a contact record and utilize these buttons for that contact's link to:

see the magic link, i.e. go to it now and see what they will see copy the link set up a manual sending of the link to their email with a custom note give a QR code that can be scanned refresh the link if you want the old one to no longer work and issue a new one

These links are more readily available to the users who can see the record as the access given through the link is only related to fields on that record which the user can already see and work with.

@Hillbilly I've seen that option - would be interested in hearing from those using that service what their experience has been - and how much it's costing them.

Great question @jaichele70,

Currently with the magic link plugin you can create a "Update your contact details" template and send it to D.T users. With this they can update the details linked to their contact record.

We do hope to see more development on user magic links and a magic link portal where a user has access to a links of their magic links.

There user magic links would be simple apps that do one thing really well, like the share app.
