My use case is that I need to send invites via email to people. These are not site users, but are people being invited to join the site (and a particular group on this site) by current users. So, I can't ask them to login, because I have no data about them.
They would then click the link in the email and the site would use the random hash value in the url to look up the invite and then do whatever else it needs to do for that type of invitation. I'm doing this so that there is at least a modicum of protection from someone just incrementing the values in the URL to mess with the invite system. It, by no means, needs to be "secure" which this method would clearly not be. Think of the model of a member of a Facebook group entering a friend's email and inviting them to join the group. But that friend may or may not be a user of the site. My question is: What's the best way to create this random hash when the invitation is saved? Can I do it with some default in the model? I'd also welcome any perspective on handling this use case better. I've only just begun thinking through it. Thanks!
