Anyone know if there are plans to implement email actions?

Email action links API was implemented in #258

@hiranya911 Question - are the 'send' going to be implemented soon? Those only seem to generate links. Or am I off?

These APIs are only for generating links. We don't have plans in the short term to send customized emails from the Admin SDK.

@bojeil-google What about a default email? Is there a way to send an email (I do not care about customization) directly?

Mar 05 '19 04:03 EuclidHeron

There are no plans for that as you can already do it with the client SDK. The Node.js client SDK can do that. The value here is in adding the capability to build customized emails which is not possible in our client SDKs. A lot of developers want this capability which is now possible through these new APIs. Ideally it would be great if we can send the customized emails for the developer too but we are not there yet.

BTW, the REST API is documented here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/auth/#section-send-password-reset-email

Mar 05 '19 04:03 bojeil-google

Thank you very much @bojeil-google . So we would just need to make a REST API call from Python? For example using 'http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/' or urllib.request ?

Mar 05 '19 04:03 EuclidHeron

It's up to you.

Mar 05 '19 04:03 bojeil-google

Is this still relevant? I'm happy to work on this if it is.

I made an initial PR: #368

Thanks for looking into this Caleb. I've assigned your PR to one of our Auth team members. Stay tuned for an update.

Any updates?

This is pretty bizarre that it's not in the official API.
