You can now set up automations to generate username and unique login passwords using merge tags in FunnelKit Automations.
Let’s suppose you want to set an account for your subscribers who submits the opt-in form.
For this purpose, we will generate a username (their email address) and a unique password so that they can log in to their account.
Setting Up the Automation
Let’s see how you can generate a username and password for login when the Opt-in form gets submitted:

Read this documentation on how to use merge tags in automations.
Now enter the field value of email, first name, and last name using the merge tags.
We have selected the role of ‘Subscriber’ and enabled the option to save the auto-generated password for a user.
Click on Save when done.
Step 4: Add send email as your action
