Hello,

Im new to Auth0 and we are looking to create a flow where once a user is created in the users section a change password email is sent to them. I have tried searching the community but i couldnt find a step by step process for doing this. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @jgrisin :wave:

Welcome to the Community! :tada:

Im new to Auth0 and we are looking to create a flow where once a user is created in the users section a change password email is sent to them.

Essentially you have a couple of choices here:

  1. Use the Auth0 Authentication API (see here) to get Auth0 to generate and send a password reset email to the user, or

  2. User the Auth0 Management API (see here) to get Auth0 to generate a password reset ticket which you can then deliver to the user using whatever mechanism you prefer/require.

Hope this helps :sunglasses:

FYI, the Authentication API typically has a higher Rate Limit than the Management API - see here for details - so depending on your volume of traffic, use of the former may be preferable to the latter.
