Send access details to a trainee (POST /api/public/trainees/{traineeId}/send-credentials)

Send the trainee their app access details by email, and optionally by WhatsApp. This generates a new password for the trainee and emails it to them, so it doubles as a password reset. Use it after creating a trainee, since POST /trainees does not send access details on its own. Set sendWhatsApp to true to also deliver the details over WhatsApp, which requires a connected WhatsApp account and a trainee phone number; the password follows in a separate message. Provide whatsappTemplate to override the message, using the {firstName}, {email}, {password} and {appLink} placeholders; when omitted the template saved in the dashboard is used.

Authentication

Requires an API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer cp_live_....
