Hi, if I understand the docs correctly, it should be possible to configure Kratos to automatically send a verification email to be sent when a new user registers themself. But I am wondering if we can also trigger this same process when creating an identity directly through the admin API?

<https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/manage-identities/managing-users-identities#invite-identity>

yeah, I know I can already generate a recovery link via the admin API :+1:

But as far as I can tell, I'd have to send the "recovery email" containing that link myself, wouldn't I?

Hmm, OK. Does this sound like something that'd be useful to write up as a feature request?

If not, would it make sense to use the "self-service" flow as an admin user to register another user? I guess that if I did it like that, I'd get the verification email "for free"?
