  @TheFrontend You cant alter the _verified prop once they auth with Google?

  I can, but not before the email is sent.

  
  
  

   const registered = await payload.create({
            collection: 'users',
            showHiddenFields: true,
            data: {
              email: user.email,
              name: user?.name,
              password: pw,
              oauth: pw,
              loginMethod: 'google',
            },
          })

  
  

  
  

  Now the email is sent, before I can update the _verified. I can login directly but the email is still sent.

  
  
  

  await payload.update({
                id: registered.id,
                collection: 'users',
                data: {
                    _verified: true,
                },
            });

  @TheFrontend Unless there is a better way..

  
  

  
  

  How about disabling email

  
  

  
  

  And then manually calling

  payload.sendEmail(message)

  
  

  
  

  on creation of a user with the type you want

  We've done something similar in the past by using a

  beforeOperation

  hook that contains the conditional logic for setting

  disableVerificationEmail

  . Let me post a snippet

  
  

  
  

  This used a previous Payload version, but still should be good.

  
  
  

  import type { CollectionBeforeOperationHook } from 'payload/types';
  
  const skipVerificationEmail: CollectionBeforeOperationHook = ({ args, operation }) => {
    if (operation === 'create' && args.req.query && typeof args.req.query.checkout !== 'undefined') {
      return {
        ...args,
        disableVerificationEmail: true,
      };
    }
  
    return args;
  };

  
  

  
  

  Just change up the conditional. You

  should

  have access to the user off of req
