The /oauth/verify_email_native operation triggers the Registration system to send an email based on the configuration defined for the form used in the API call.

Email verification can also be initiated when a user registers (via /oauth/register_native_traditional.

1. Send verification email

$api_call= '/oauth/verify_email_native';
$params= array(
    'client_id'=> JANRAIN_LOGIN_CLIENT_ID,
    'flow'=> JANRAIN_FLOW_NAME,
    'flow_version'=> JANRAIN_FLOW_VERSION,
    'locale'=> 'en-US',
    // page where the user is sent
    'redirect_uri'=> EMAIL_VERIFICATION_URL,
    // the name of your resend-verification form as defined in the flow file
    'form'=> 'resendVerificationForm',
    // required field from resendVerificationForm
    'signInEmailAddress'=> $_POST['email']
);
$curl= curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_URL,JANRAIN_CAPTURE_URL.$api_call);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POST,true);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,http_build_query($params));
$api_response= json_decode(curl_exec($curl));
curl_close($curl);
