                 });



         });
    </script>
<style>

php code

    <?php
  $data=$_GET['contranumber'];
?>

Answer 1

I would suggest handling this by PHP code only.

When user opens the page (which effectively happens after clicking the link), php code will validate the request and send a notification / email / whatever required.

It would be safer as the logic (no XHR request in the background) will be hidden from public.
