Since the release of the Version 6.2.0 of the Node.js Admin SDK on November 19, 2018 it is possible to generate, in a Cloud Function, a link for email verification via the auth.generateEmailVerificationLink() method.

You will find more details and some code samples in the documentation.

You can then send an email containing this link via Mailgun, Sendgrid or any other email microservice. You'll find here a Cloud Function sample that shows how to send an email from a Cloud Function.
