Send a change password email to the user’s provided email address and connection.

POST /dbconnections/change_password

Send a change password email to the user’s provided email address and connection.

Optionally, you may provide an Organization ID to support Organization-specific variables in customized email templates and to include the organization_id and organization_name parameters in the Redirect To URL.

Note: This endpoint only works for database connections.

Remarks

• When the user clicks on the password change link they will be redirected to a page asking them for a new password.
• This endpoint will return three HTTP Response Headers, that provide relevant data on its rate limits:
  • X-RateLimit-Limit: Number of requests allowed per minute.
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining: Number of requests available. Each new request reduces this number by 1. For each minute that passes, requests are added back, so this number increases by 1 each time.
  • X-RateLimit-Reset: Remaining time until the rate limit (X-RateLimit-Limit) resets. The value is in UTC epoch seconds.
