Setting email_verified to True Using the Auth0 Management API

Administrators can update the user profile to set the email_verified attribute to true for a specific subset of users upon their first login. Using the Auth0 Management Application Programming Interface (API) endpoint or a Post-User Registration Action achieves this configuration.

• Auth0
• Management API
• Actions

How is the email_verified attribute set to true using the Management API?

Update the user profile to set the email_verified attribute to true using the PATCH /api/v2/users/{id} Management API endpoint.

PATCH: https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>/api/v2/users/{user_id}

Payload:
{
    "email_verified": true
}

How is the email_verified attribute set to true using an Action?

The following Post-User Registration Action example permanently updates the email_verified attribute in the user profile.

NOTE: Depending on the usage of the script, rate-limiting issues may occur. This code is intended as an example and must be tested thoroughly before implementation in a production environment.

exports.onExecutePostUserRegistration = async (event) => {
  console.log('ACTION ******* onExecutePostUserRegistration: START *******');
  
  const ManagementClient = require('auth0').ManagementClient;
  const management = new ManagementClient({
     domain: event.secrets.domain,
      clientId: event.secrets.clientId,
      clientSecret: event.secrets.clientSecret,
  });

  try {
    console.log("user before update: ", event.user);
    var params = { 
     "id":  event.user.user_id
    };
    var data = {
     "email_verified": true
    }
   const userObj = await management.updateUser(params, data, function (err, user) {
      if (err) {
        console.log("api call error: ", err);
      }
    });
  } catch (e) {
    console.log("error: ", e)
  }
  console.log('ACTION ******* onExecutePostUserRegistration: END *******');
};
