API - Reset client password

[project183]

Hello,

 

On the documentation for the WHMCS API - http://docs.whmcs.com/API:Send_Email it states:

 

The following email templates cannot be sent in this way:

 

Automated Password Reset

Password Reset Confirmation

Password Reset Validation

...

 

However i am able to perform these actions, below is a code snippet:

 

    public function resetAction()
   { 
       $request = $this->getRequest();
       if ( $request->isPost() )
       {
            $params['action'] = 'getclientsdetails';
            $params['email']  = $request->getPost( 'email' );
            $reset = $this->backend->apiCall( $params );
            if ( $reset->result == 'success' ) 
            {
                 $params['action']        = 'sendemail';
                 $params['messagename']   = 'Password Reset Validation';
                 $params['id']            = $reset->userid;
                 $params['customvars']    = base64_encode(serialize([
                     'pw_reset_url'       => 'http://domain.tld/page/args...'
                 ]));
                 $this->backend->apiCall( $params );
            }
            $this->getView()->assign( 'done', 1 );
       }
   }

 

This piece of code simply sends a email to WHMCS via the api, upon success we get the users client id to pass to the

send e-mail command.

 

This works well and using the templates i am able to build a password recovery system using the api but what im wondering is if i am missing something because the documentation is stating that these templates cannot be used.

 

Thanks
