Directus Extension: Resend Verification Email

Directus endpoint extension that resends the standard registration verification email only when the requested account already exists with the unverified status. It never creates or updates a user.

Installation

Install the package in your Directus extensions directory:

npm install directus-extension-resend-verification-email

Restart Directus after installation if extension auto-reload is disabled.

Endpoint

POST /resend-verification-email

{
	"email": "[email protected]",
	"verification_url": "https://example.com/verify-email"
}

verification_url is optional and, when provided, must match USER_REGISTER_URL_ALLOW_LIST using Directus's origin-and-path matching behavior.

Every handled request returns an empty 204 No Content response after the configured minimum duration. Missing users, non-unverified users, malformed input, disallowed URLs, and internal failures are intentionally indistinguishable to the caller.

Configuration

• RESEND_VERIFICATION_MIN_DURATION_MS: minimum total request duration in milliseconds; defaults to 500.
• USER_REGISTER_URL_ALLOW_LIST: allowed verification URLs, provided by Directus.
• EMAIL_VERIFICATION_TOKEN_TTL: verification-token lifetime, provided by Directus.
