How to send two different emails for devise confirmable and devise reconfirmable?

Question

Both devise confirmable (email confirmation when user signs up) and reconfirmable (email confirmation when user changes email) modules send the same email template, "confirmation_instructions". How do I get it so that a different email template is used for confirmable?

#Devise Mailer

def confirmation_instructions(record)
  @resource = record
    if @resource.pending_reconfirmation?
      mail(to: @resource.unconfirmed_email, subject: "Confirm new email") do |format|
        format.html { render ... }
      end
    else
      mail(to: @resource.email, subject: "Confirm new account") do |format|
        format.html { render .... }
      end
    end
end

You can override options[:template_name] in the #confirmation_instructions method of your mailer.

class AuthMailer < Devise::Mailer
  helper :application
  include Devise::Controllers::UrlHelpers
  default template_path: 'devise/mailer'

  def confirmation_instructions(record, token, options={})
    # Use different e-mail templates for signup e-mail confirmation and for when a user changes e-mail address.
    if record.pending_reconfirmation?
      options[:template_name] = 'reconfirmation_instructions'
    else
      options[:template_name] = 'confirmation_instructions'
    end

    super
  end
end

Also change this line from device.rb

# config.mailer = 'Devise::Mailer'
config.mailer = 'AuthMailer'

It was a long time ago, for sure, but how to preview both (reconfirmation and confirmation)? – Thug

@Thug you can set the unconfirmed_email of your model instance in your preview method: record.update(unconfirmed_email: '[email protected]'). This marks the record as pending_confirmation. – Staffer

Answer 3

Just looked at the docs and there's a send_on_create_notification method that you can override in the model. So just need to override this method so that the confirmation email is not sent and a different one is sent instead. In that email, I'll just have the confirmation link.
