How do I trigger the email verification workflow when a new user is created using only the backend SDKs? Currently we have a proxy lambda handling requests but since this handles all request types I don't know when a particular invocation is a sign up or a login or a password reset.

Hey! You want to mark the email as unverfiied and that should trigger the email verification flow if you are using our pre built UI. I don't quite understand your setup - so I'm not sure how best to suggest.

Copy code

supertokens.init(getBackendConfig());

module.exports.auth = middy(middleware())
  .onError((request) => {
      throw request.error;
  });

There should be a function in the backend SDK for the recipe you chose called unverifyEmail
