Is there a way to send the verification email with the Firebase Admin SDK from my Node.js server?

Question

Is there a way to send the email verification email from my server ?

This is how it's done on the client:

authData.sendEmailVerification().then(function() {

Is there a way to do it on the server ?

To my surprise there currently is no option to send verification email from within the Admin SDK. I'd recommend you file a feature request.

What you can do from the Admin SDK is update a user profile to mark their email as verified. This allows you to take control of the entire verification flow if you want to, finishing with a call to admin.auth().updateUser(...) (on Node.js, see the link for other supported languages).

Answer 2

I just came across the same problem as you. There is a function to generate the verification link using user's email address.

I used this function on an array of email addresses, then load the result to my mail automation API to send mails out. This function is weirdly not documented:

admin.auth().generateEmailVerificationLink([EMAIL_ADDRESS])
