The discussion revolves around making account activation emails Gmail-compatible. Moter8 suggests implementing a one-click action button, similar to those used in Gmail, to simplify the activation process. Moter8 provides a screenshot and source file of an example email, as well as references to Google’s documentation and a Mailchimp blog post. eviltrout expresses enthusiasm for the idea and encourages a pull request. downey and Moter8 also discuss the possibility of adding a “View on [site name]” button to encourage users to visit the website. However, codinghorror notes that this idea is a duplicate of an existing topic on Meta Discourse.
First off: Gmail may just trigger this on actual subscription double-opt in emails. They possibly don’t intend to display this on account signup confirmations, I’m not too sure.
There was a button just like on the screenshot that after clicking on sent the confirmation to them.
Hopefully it’s not hijacking this idea because it’s quite related, but a similar ViewAction button for View on $site_name would be good to encourage email users to get on to the web site.
