🔐 Magic Login Link – FlowMattic Tools Module

The Magic Login Link action in the FlowMattic Tools module allows you to send your users or team members a special one-time login link. When the link is clicked, it logs the user in automatically, without asking for a password.

⚠️ The link is valid for 1 hour only and can be used only once. After that, it’s either expired or invalid.
