I see that the API for creating and updating users has a `verify_email` option to omit sending the verification message on a case-by-case basis. I’d like to do something similar, but for select applications. Can I do this using Actions? E.g. set the value of `user.verify_email` in a pre user registration flow? A very similar question was asked in 2018, but there was no conclusion. See [Disable verification email for specific app](https://community.auth0.com/t/disable-verification-email-for-specific-app/14917). I don’t want to disable email verification across the whole tenant (all the time), but for some applications, I don’t want those messages sent. Thanks for your help with this. ---

I’ve tried to create a custom “Pre User Registration” Action, but have not had any success. It seems that the `api.user` doesn’t have a `verify_email` property. The exact error message I get is: > Property ‘verify\_email’ does not exist on type ‘UserAPI’. (2339) I also tried `event.user`, but that also doesn’t seem to have `verify_email`. ---

It’s looking like I’ll need to disable the built-in Auth0 Verification Email (under Branding, for some reason), across the whole environment, and then separately implement a new service that itself sends the verification email after going to Auth0 for an [email verification ticket](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Tickets/post_email_verification). I’m disappointed that I have to re-implement a feature that otherwise works well, so that I can have more control over if/how/when it’s used. ---

Same. I would love to continue using the built-in email verification template, but I’d like a way to turn off sending it in specific cases. ---

If there’s not a way to do this, I might recommend adding to the PostUserRegistrationAPI or something in Actions? I know that there’s already functionality to turn off verification when you add a user via the management api, but it would be nice if I could turn it off during an action or hook. In actions, you can already do `api.access.deny()` to deny registration, so what if there was something like `api.access.sendVerificationEmail(false)` to prevent the email from being sent? Or the implementation details don’t matter. Just as long as there’s a way to selectively turn off sending verification emails. (In my case, I have a separate “invitation” flow where the user has already clicked on a link from their email inbox, so I know ahead of time that their email is valid before they even sign up. I’d rather them not to have to click two links) ---

Just collecting another example here, for future users who are dealing with a similar issue: - [Email verification for some but not all applications](https://community.auth0.com/t/email-verification-for-some-but-not-all-applications/36146) from Jan '20 ---

Hi everyone! Thank you @lee.omara for posting this question on the community! I am sorry about the delayed response to your inquiry. Unfortunately, there is no option to disable the email verification on sign-up for specific applications. I would advise to post on the [Feedback](https://community.auth0.com/c/feedback/95) forum regarding implementing this feature. As mentioned above, an alternative would be to send the email verification ticket whenever needed using the [Management API](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/tickets/post-email-verification). Otherwise, only MFA factors can be disabled via post-login actions depending on certain conditions. If you have any other questions, feel free to leave a reply or post again on the community! Kind Regards, Nik ---
