When you update your secondary email via YourDomain.okta.com/enduser/settings you get an email verification email.
We intend to make a change so Users add/remove secondary email via a "profile page" on site - this is linked to OKTA via API.
So far I havent been able to get a confirmation email when adding/updating via this method, but the secondary email field does change in the OKTA user profile.
Is any one able to confirm workflows recognise there is a new email and follow the same process if it is added via api, and not directly into the okta profile?
If not, is it possible to make new workflows that recognise an email has been added via this method and trigger the email for the user to confirm its change?

Thank you for posting on our Community Forums, this is Catalin from Okta Support.
Assuming you are referring to an own-built profile page, you should be able to achieve this by partially using Workflows.
Workflows can be initiated by webhooks, and paused/halted suing similar webhooks.
You can event send data by POST-ing a payload to the exposed webhook endpoint.
