Event or hook when user account email validated

Question

Is there an event or hook we can leverage after a user verifies their email address? It looks like this is handled in UsersController::actionVerifyEmail() which calls $this->_onAfterActivateUser which calls $this->_redirectUserAfterAccountActivation. The specific users being created will not have CP access, so they will be redirected to craft()->config->getLocalized('activateAccountSuccessPath') in that method.

I would like to be able to set a flash message to confirm the email verification and informing them they need to log in to access all of the site, but I don't see any events or hooks to tie into. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

There currently aren't any verification events, but if the user is in a pending state (i.e. they haven't been activated yet), verification will trigger activation, which triggers the onBeforeActivateUser and onActivateUser events.
