Confirm email/link

I want to create a confirmation link. User registrates on website and receives an email. The email should contain a link, to verify the users email address. How do I create this link? What should it contain? Expireation time? Some kind of token? Is it like: user clicks on link -> sends an email to me? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your answer. I use django to create my app. I managed to get the users email address and to send mails. When I put html code in the email (I didn't try that yet), that the user receives I can put href leading to my website. My aim is, to receive an email, that tells me that the user confirmed his email and update my user-database. I was thinking about an id number and a input field on the linked website. I think that would probably work, but the user would have to enter the code and click a button again. It would be better, if the user just had to click on the link and the rest happens automaticly. So I would have to pass a parameter (user id) with the link and run a function, when the user clicks on the link.(?)
