👋 everyone. We want to update our backend when a user clicks through the email verification. I can’t find a trigger in Rules or Actions that would listen for that event, only triggers that run directly after signup. An I missing something? Right now, Auth0’s user database carries the updated ‘email verified’ flag, but after signup I can’t sync it with our own data. ---

Hi @ab-121, Welcome to the Auth0 Community! You are correct, there isn’t a trigger for successful email verification. Fortunately, Auth0 has a feature that allows you to essentially create your own triggers for any log event; [Log Streams](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/log-streams). You can use a log stream to create your own event driven trigger in AWS or another service of your choosing. For example, you can have AWS event bridge trigger a Lambda function on a `sv` (successful verification) log event. Additionally, this would be a good candidate for a [Feature Request](https://community.auth0.com/c/feedback/95). Hope that helps! ---

Thanks @dan.woda! If does help! Sounds a little more involved, but it is a solution. Is there an example or a documentation you can point me to? ---

This example gets you part of the way there.
