How can I disable the welcome/verification email that is sent after a new user registers?
Hello! Is there a way to disable the welcome email with the verification link that is sent to users when they register?
We implemented user registration using Okta JS libraries.

Hi @LucasR.45884 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
I'm not familiar with the JS implementation as that would be the purview of our developer colleagues (devforum.okta.com), but if the Okta Users API is being leveraged in the user activation flow of your case, the API call allows you to append ?sendEmail=false.
Example:
{{url}}/api/v1/users/{{userId}}/lifecycle/activate?sendEmail=false
Similar topic was discussed in previous posts/articles but I don't think it will help your specific use case that leverages the Okta JS libraries, for that I recommend reaching our to my colleagues on the dedicated developer forum to take advantage of their expertise.
That being said, I'll post them here in case they offer some additional insight to you:

If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
