CB register autoaction name generation

Hello

Is it possible to change the behavior of a Register Autoaction in order to get more readable usernames ?

For now the randomly generated usernames are not easy to remember by our users.

Would you have any idea about this ?

thanks

I would recommend giving the auto action a username input if you need readable usernames. There's no functionality for alternating the randomly generated usernames behavior as that's in core CB not in CB Auto Actions. So only way to do this would be to act on onBeforeUserRegistration trigger and change the username before the user is created.

The issue is that this autoaction is used from my web component and I only have the email available at this stage.

How could I use onBeforeUserRegistration trigger to get more readable username with random numbers at the end ?

For instance webuser-12345 ?

Your web component could format a username and send that along with the post data.

You'd use a Code action with Method set to PHP and Reference Variables under parameters set to Variable 1. You should then just be able to modify the user object however you like using var1 from the variables array. Example as follows.

You don't need to handle any storage logic as this is a trigger fired before storage so modifying the reference variable is enough.

That seemed too complicated because it had to be applied only to web component so I switched to username = email

This should work fine for anybody
