I configured verification email link as below:

<Pegahost>/prweb/api/auth/v1/verifyemail/{customerId)/{token}

which is Pega Rest service. It takes a token parameter and calls another API to validate the url. On click of the link customer email is verified in the database. However, I observe the link is already clicked before it arrive in the email.

I think Pega uses the link from the correspondence rule and run it internally, this is causing issues as the link is no longer active. I run the tracer and I see the service run just after emai is sent. Here's how I configured correspondence fragment rule:

{% tools.putSaveValue("PublicLinkURL",pega_procom_pegaprocomutilities.getPublicLinkURL()); 

%}

Click HERE   <a href='{$save(PublicLinkURL)}/{MyTempWork.pyNote NORMAL}'> LINK </a>

where MyTempWork.pyNote is "api/auth/v1/verifyemail/{customerId)/{token}"

Any help why Pega is running the link internally and how to avoid it?

Thanks,

Patryk
