Send the verification email

For most projects, this Event Trigger should use WeWeb's built-in backend Send Email action.

Recommended setup

1. Open Data & API → Workflows → Event triggers.
2. Open On email verification requested.
3. Add the backend Send Email action.
4. Bind the recipient to user.email.
5. Set a subject such as Verify your email.
6. In the message body, include the url value from the event data so the user can complete verification.

What you need to bind

• Recipient: user.email
• Subject: Your verification email subject
• Content: The url value somewhere in the text or HTML

Example HTML snippet:

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Confirm your email address by clicking the link below:</p>
<p><a href="{{url}}">Verify email</a></p>
<p>If you didn’t request this, you can ignore this email.</p>

Alternative: use an email integration

If you need provider-specific features, you can use an email integration such as Resend, SendGrid, or Postmark instead.
