Delay and or resend Devise's confirmation email for manually created users

Question

I\'m using Devise to allow user signup as-well-as using my own user admin to create users manually. When I create a user in the admin, Devise sends a confirmati

Answer 1

We do this in one of our apps. You can tell Devise NOT to automatically deliver the confirmation like this:

@user.skip_confirmation!

And then later, you can do

Devise::Mailer.confirmation_instructions(@user).deliver

For Rails 2.x you'd do something like:

DeviseMailer.deliver_confirmation_instructions(@user)

Answer 2

There is now the devise-async project:

• https://github.com/mhfs/devise-async
• https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Send-devise-emails-in-background-(Resque,-Sidekiq-and-Delayed::Job)

Answer 3

I just spent some time looking into this, basically you just need to add this and setup delayed_job.

def send_confirmation_instructions
  generate_confirmation_token! if self.confirmation_token.nil?
  ::Devise.mailer.delay.confirmation_instructions(self)
end

Add it in your user model as protected method to override the devise one in confirmable. Also, note the gem was just updated to add a new method to be overridden on create that sends the confirmation instructions.

Answer 4

There's now an easier way (was added back in v2.2.4)

Devise's confirmable module now includes the perfect skip_confirmation_notification! method which allows for a cleaner solution:

@user = User.new params[:user]
@user.skip_confirmation_notification! 
@user.save

# ... do stuff, then later...

Devise::Mailer.confirmation_instructions(@user).deliver 

Answer 5

Do you use delayed job ? It allows you to define single methods for delayed run.

Answer 6

@user.skip_confirmation! confirms the user, so the user can log in without using the confirmation.

This works for me in devise 3.5

Stop devise to send confirmation email while creating user.

@user.skip_confirmation_notification! 

Send confirmation instructions later

@user.send_confirmation_instructions
