Send verification request using Email

If you wish to use your own email address when using the email channel in the 'from' field, please note you will need to contact support if you want to configure / customize this channel.

You can start the verification process by sending a verify request to the Verify API. The following example will send a request that uses Email for verification.

Where needed, replace the following variables in the sample code with your own values:

KeyDescription
JWT

Used to authenticate your request. See Authentication for more information, including how to generate a JWT.

BRAND_NAME

Included in the message to explain who is confirming the phone number

VONAGE_APPLICATION_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH

Private key path.

VONAGE_APPLICATION_ID

The Vonage Application ID.

TO_EMAIL

The email address to send the verification request to.
