How can I edit this email

The email is a language string. First you need to install the English language plugin or a language plugin for whatever language you will be using then modify it and adjust the following language string as needed. You can edit the default language string, but it's not recommended as you will lose your changes on upgrade.

Code:

'UE_CONNECTIONPENDINGACCEPTANCE'	=>	'Connection Pending Acceptance!',
'UE_CONNECTIONPENDSUB'	=>	'You have a pending connection from %s!',
'UE_CONNECTIONPENDMSG'	=>	'%s is requesting to connect with you and requires your approval.  Please accept or deny the connection request accordingly.',
'UE_CONNECTIONADDSUCCESSFULL'	=>	'Connection Successfully Added!',
'UE_CONNECTIONMADESUB'	=>	'%s has connected with you!',
'UE_CONNECTIONMADEMSG'	=>	'%s has established a connection with you.',
'UE_CONNECTIONMSGPREFIX'	=>	"  %s included the following personal message:\n\n%s",
'UE_MANAGECONNECTIONS'	=>	'Manage Connections',
'UE_PROFILE'	=>	'Profile',
'UE_SENDPMSNOTICE'	=>	'NOTE: This is a message generated automatically by the Connections system. It has the connecting user\'s address, so you can conveniently reply if you wish to.',
'UE_NODIRECTCONNECTION'	=>	'There is no direct connection.',
'UE_CONNECTIONREMOVESUCCESSFULL'	=>	'Connection Successfully Removed!',
'UE_CONNECTIONREMOVED_SUB'	=>	'Connection Removed!',
'UE_CONNECTIONREMOVED_MSG'	=>	'%s has removed your connection!',
'UE_CONNECTIONDENYSUCCESSFULL'	=>	'Connection Successfully Denied!',
'UE_CONNECTIONDENIED_SUB'	=>	'Connection Request Declined!',
'UE_CONNECTIONDENIED_MSG'	=>	'Your request to connect with %s was declined!',
'UE_CONNECTIONACCEPTSUCCESSFULL'	=>	'Connection Successfully Accepted!',
'UE_CONNECTIONACCEPTED_SUB'	=>	'Connection Request Accepted!',
'UE_CONNECTIONACCEPTED_MSG'	=>	'Your request to connect with %s was accepted!',

add the option to accept the connection in a single click?

There's no feature to accept a connection request via URL.

Thanks for the pointer.

'accept the connection in a single click'

Can this be added as a feature request, as it is a direct response activity.

Security wise it goes backwards. It wouldn't do anything if the user wasn't already logged in as well. Accepting the connection request without being logged in would mean it's URL secured only, which isn't secure. So I don't see it being added.

We've discussed internally some ways we can secure this pretty well. Have added a feature ticket for a future release of CB. Ideally we could have a handy API library to handle secure token exchanges that can be used for "by url actions" of all kinds.

Great.

As with all great projects, we need to take the best of what other systems do and what makes like for the user as easy as possible and this is one of them!
