External Authorisation

[EWA]

I want to start using the External Authorisation node and just one to hear if anyone has been using it and how does it work for you., especially the expiry node. I set it up so that it resends the email upon an expir, which in theory it will never expire, I wonder, if anyone been using it and share your tips.

That's not strictly true - the resent email will be a new Authorisation with a new link, so if the Authoriser receives the second email but clicks on the link in the first email then they will just see a message saying that it's expired.

From experience, this may cause an issue if your recipient is using a client like Gmail that combines emails from the same address with the same subject into one conversation and they aren't familiar with how that works.
