sending unlock account email if account is locked

[rida-elbahtouri]

is there a way to send an unlock account email if the account is locked?

I tried this

locked_out? do
      send_unlock_account_email
end

but I get an email with an empty key (key?=id_)
when doing something like this

RodauthMailer.unlock_account(
        self.class.configuration_name,
        account_id,
        unlock_account_key_value, # I tried to replace it with get_unlock_account_key and generate_unlock_account_key
) .deliver_later

the unlock email doesn't work, and I get 403 Forbidden.
any advice?

You're probably looking to send the unlock account email right after the account gets locked, not every time Rodauth checks whether the account is locked. It seems this is as easy as:

after_account_lockout { send_unlock_account_email }

If you can put together a failing spec or minimal self contained example, I can take a deeper look.

I don't have anything custom, here is my rodauth_main code

    # number of invalid tries before locking the account
    max_invalid_logins 5
    # sent an other email after 10min
    unlock_account_skip_resend_email_within 600
    
      locked_out? do
      if (ret = super()) && !unlock_account_email_recently_sent?
        @unlock_account_key_value = get_unlock_account_key
        set_unlock_account_email_last_sent
        send_unlock_account_email
      end
      ret
    end
    after_account_lockout do
      set_unlock_account_email_last_sent
      send_unlock_account_email
    end

    create_unlock_account_email do
      RodauthMailer.unlock_account(
        self.class.configuration_name,
        account_id,
        unlock_account_key_value,
      )
    end

RodauthMailer is not something defined by Rodauth. Maybe this is rodauth-rails specific, in which case you may want to move the discussion to the rodauth-rails repository.

I have RodAuth mailer defined

class RodauthMailer < ApplicationMailer

 def unlock_account(name, account_id, key)
    @email_link = email_link_key(name, :unlock_account, account_id, key)
    @account = find_account(name, account_id)
    mail to: @account.email, subject: rodauth(name).unlock_account_email_subject
  end

  private

  def email_link_key(name, action, account_id, key)
    instance = rodauth(name)
    instance.instance_variable_set(:@account, { id: account_id })
    instance.instance_variable_set(:"@#{action}_key_value", key)
    instance.public_send(:"#{action}_email_link")
  end
end

As this involves rodauth-rails, please move this discussion to rodauth-rails. If you can generate a failing spec or minimal self-contained example for plain Rodauth (without rodauth-rails), then we can continue the discussion here.
