Query Parameters

The redirectUrl is the url where you wish the customer to be redirected to after they click on their email confirmation. This should be the full url, including protocol. For security reasons, this exact url must be supplied in the Customer Profiles Settings page.

themeCode is the screen branding theme code. it ensures that if a redirect happens to a legacy page, the proper themeCode is displayed. You probably won't need this parameter if you have a StoreFront.

Headers
