What Are Auto-Login Links? #

Auto-login links are secure, one-time-use URLs that automatically log a user into WordPress when clicked. They’re ideal for use in GHL email campaigns or SMS messages.

How They Work #

  • Each link contains a SHA-256 hashed token.
  • Links expire after 15 minutes.
  • Each link can only be used once.
  • Expired tokens are automatically cleaned up.

Generating Links #

  • From User Profile: Go to a user’s profile page and click “Generate Auto-Login Link” in the GHL section.
  • Programmatically: Use the plugin’s auto-login API to generate links in your custom code or GHL workflows.

How Users Access Them #

The plugin checks for the ghl_autologin query parameter on every page load (WordPress init hook). If a valid token is found, the user is logged in and redirected.
