The mechanism, this time, is a little bit different. Coinbase will use the specified mail address as a first parameter to send a message in which Coinbase itself will explain to our BTC sender what to do and how to do it.
You can also use some methods to cancel or resend the same request, if you have some issues. As a key, you will have to use the previously obtained transaction key.
