Start Password Reset

Sends a password-reset email to the customer’s registered email address. The email contains a one-time link that the customer can follow to set a new password. The portal calls this from the “Forgot your password?” flow on the sign-in page.

Authentication

No authentication required. This is a public endpoint.

Request Body

email · string · required

The email address of the account for which the password reset should be triggered.

businessId · number

The numeric identifier of the location the customer belongs to. Providing this ensures the correct branded email template is used.

Response

Returns an ActionConfirmation envelope. The portal treats any successful response as confirmation that the email was sent — it does not reveal whether the email address is registered, to prevent enumeration attacks.

WasSuccessful · boolean

true when the reset email was dispatched (or when no account was found — the response is intentionally the same to prevent user enumeration).

Value · string | null

Usually null.

Status · number

HTTP-style status code mirrored in the body. 200 on success.

Message · string | null

Human-readable message. Usually null on success.

Errors · any

Validation errors. null on success.

Example Response

{
  "WasSuccessful": true,
  "Value": null,
  "Status": 200,
  "Message": null,
  "Errors": null
}
