Queries: Pre-Verification Query

Creating a Pre-Verification Query: What is Pre-Verification?

Pre-verification accomplishes the following:

  • Grants automatic site access for members with the email addresses you have provided
  • Creates a unique invitation URL for each member that can be used in subsequent email invitations 
  • Appends data to the members profile and reduces on boarding requirements 

For more on pre-verification, please navigate to the Managing Members article.


Query Export Requirements

A pre-verification query must include the following exports: 

  1. Unique ID
    1. Important: This ID will be used for matching when sent back to Slate.
