Email verification email for 'welcome message'

[dan]

Question about email verification and registration verification emails.

If the delete unverified email or delete unverified registrations option is left unchecked, then the only result of a user failing to complete verification would be that they’d have the verified: false attribute, correct? There wouldn't be any other functionality changes?

Goal is to send a "Welcome" type of email on signup, but don’t want to actually require verification.

Wanted to confirm that we could repurpose this functionality to meet that requirement.

You are correct. The verified flag exists on the corresponding user and the registration. You could optionally use the "verify registration" templatefor this purpose.

If you then ignored the verified: false flag on the registration in your code, it should not impact you.

Another option would be to listen for the user.registration.create event and then fire off an email on your end, or call the Email Send API to send a pre-made FusionAuth email template as a welcome event: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/emails/#send-an-email
