Send Approval Email when user registered

Hi,

I’m creating a website for a client where the user fills out a form (contact form 7), submit the form, and is redirected to a contract signing page (wp-esignature). I created a custom snippet that registers the user once the form is submitted. The snippet also includes a function that passes the userID to the um()->user()->approve() function. This function triggers the approved email.

The account username and email are correct but the set password is not. Instead of displaying the reset password hash it displays {password_reset_link} which redirects the user to a 404 page.

I’m using wpmail SMTP and Brevo to send emails. I excluded the password reset page from the cache. I’m assuming it has something to do with my code logic.

function custom_process_form_submission( $contact_form ) {
    // Replace $contact_form_id with the ID of your Contact Form 7 form
    $contact_form = WPCF7_ContactForm::get_current();
    $contact_form_id = $contact_form->id; // Example ID, replace with your actual form ID

    // Check if the submitted form is the desired Contact Form 7 form
    if ( $contact_form->id() == $contact_form_id ) {
        $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();

        if ( $submission ) {
            $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();

            // Extract form data
            $first_name = sanitize_text_field( $posted_data['your-name'] );
            $last_name = sanitize_text_field( $posted_data['last-name'] );
            $email = sanitize_email( $posted_data['your-email'] );

            // Generate username (customize as needed)
            $username = strtolower( $first_name . '_' . $last_name );

            // Check if the username already exists and handle uniqueness
            if ( username_exists( $username ) ) {
                $username .= '_' . uniqid();
            }

            // Generate a random password
            $password = wp_generate_password();

            // Create the user
            $user_id = wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email );

            if ( ! is_wp_error( $user_id ) ) {
                // The user registration is successful, send approval email
                send_approval_email_after_registration( $user_id, array( 'form_data' => $posted_data ) );
            } else {
                // Handle error gracefully, perhaps by displaying a user-friendly message
                error_log( 'User account creation failed: ' . $user_id->get_error_message() );
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}

function send_approval_email_after_registration( $user_id, $args ) {
    // Check if the user ID is valid
    if ( ! empty( $user_id ) ) {
        // Trigger approval email from Ultimate Member
        um()->user()->approve( $user_id );
        
        // Log a message to indicate that the approval email is sent
        error_log( 'Approval email sent for user ID: ' . $user_id );
    }
}
