How to send two different emails for devise confirmable and devise reconfirmable?

Question

Both devise confirmable (email confirmation when user signs up) and reconfirmable (email confirmation when user changes email) modules send the same email template, "confirmation_instructions". How do I get it so that a different email template is used for confirmable?

Answer 1

You can override options[:template_name] in the #confirmation_instructions method of your mailer.

class AuthMailer < Devise::Mailer
  helper :application
  include Devise::Controllers::UrlHelpers
  default template_path: 'devise/mailer'

  def confirmation_instructions(record, token, options={})
    # Use different e-mail templates for signup e-mail confirmation and for when a user changes e-mail address.
    if record.pending_reconfirmation?
      options[:template_name] = 'reconfirmation_instructions'
    else
      options[:template_name] = 'confirmation_instructions'
    end

    super
  end
end

Also change this line from device.rb

# config.mailer = 'Devise::Mailer'
config.mailer = 'AuthMailer'

Answer 2

#Devise Mailer

def confirmation_instructions(record)
  @resource = record
    if @resource.pending_reconfirmation?
      mail(to: @resource.unconfirmed_email, subject: "Confirm new email") do |format|
        format.html { render ... }
      end
    else
      mail(to: @resource.email, subject: "Confirm new account") do |format|
        format.html { render .... }
      end
    end
end
