See Setup and Manage Customer Notification for further information on how to customize and brand the Self-Service notification emails.

What Happens When a Link Life Time Expires?

With the exception of the expiry of a new customer account activation link, when any self-service links expire, the customer will have to re-request them.

When a customer uses the self-service registration process, the account is created but it cannot be logged into until the activation link has been clicked.

📘

In the event that the activation link has expired, the customer can still take control of the account (they created) by performing a self-service password reset. Resetting the password will also activate the account.
