  What do you mean exactly? The req should have payload object on it right? And in that case you would be able to us the local API to send the email

  Ah, for some reason I didn't realize the payload object is on the req!

  
  

  
  

  Thanks @jarrod69420

  
  

  
  

  For anyone who finds this, I did...

  
  

  
  

    endpoints: [
      {
        path: "/verify",
        method: "post",
        handler: async (req, res, next) => {
          try {
            const msg: Message = {
              from: "noreply@example.com",
              to: req.body.email,
              subject: "Example",
              html: `The id posted was ${req.body.id}`,
            };
            await req.payload.sendEmail(msg);
          } catch (error) {
            res.json({
              ok: false,
              error: "Error while sending verification email.",
            });
          }
        },
      },
    ],
