Why does this page exist?
By default, the template does not require new Users to confirm their email address, and it does not send new Users confirmation emails. This guide describes how to send confirmation emails to new Users when they sign up, and how to customize the confirmation email that's sent.
If it's not crucial that a User confirms their email, it may be best not to require this so new Users can go to the onboard page and explore your app immediately after signing up. 🙂
Who can access this page?
Currently, anyone can access this page, but it is meant to be accessed by Users who clicked a link to confirm their email.
What does this page allow my Users to do?
This page changes the User's "email confirmed" field's value (type: yes/no, list: no) to yes automatically. The "email confirmed" field is handled automatically by Bubble and built into every app; it can't be deleted.
You can utilize this field's value to show/hide certain features of the app or redirect users, by using the expression When Current User's "email confirmed" (type: yes/no, list: no) is [yes or no] --->
These are just example conditionals and event conditions, and are not included anywhere in the template.
Where do my Users click in order to go to this page?
The confirm page is not within any of the template's navigation elements.
When are my Users taken to this page?
If you choose to send a confirmation email to new Users, the link in that confirmation email will navigate them to this page.
What should I keep in mind about this page’s workflows?
The confirm page contains the Button Get Started (Goes to Onboard)
element which navigates the Current User to the onboard page:

How to Send a Confirmation Email to New Users
Navigate to the
login/signup popup
reusable element in the page elements/organizer:
2. In the workflow tab, click on the workflow event "When Button Sign Up is clicked". This will show you a screen like this:
3. Now we need to modify the "Sign the User up" action, so that it sends a confirmation email each time a new User signs up. To do this, click the "Step 1: Sign the user up" action, highlighted in yellow below:
4. This will open the action's editor. Since the "Send an email to confirm the email" is unchecked, check this checkbox so that a confirm email is sent each time this action is run:
5. Make sure the Confirmation page is set to the "confirm" page:
6. Now an email will be sent to every new User who signs up. When a new User checks their email and clicks the confirmation link in the email, they will be navigated to the confirm page. This will also change the built-in "email confirmed" field (type: yes/no, list: no) to "yes".
The "email confirmed" field is a built-in Bubble field, that is not visible and can't be deleted in the Data tab. It is handled automatically by Bubble. It can be used to show, hide and redirect Users who haven't changed their email by using the expression "When Current User's "confirmed email" is "no" --> do the following."
