Additional parameters in Email config

I'm using
@convex-dev/auth/providers/Email
@convex-dev/auth/providers/Email
to send verification emails and want to support multiple languages (e.g., 'en', 'ko') based on user settings. However, the current
sendVerificationRequest
sendVerificationRequest
doesn't accept custom parameters like
customData
customData
to pass locale info, forcing me to hardcode templates (e.g., 'en').

#### Current Code
import { Email } from '@convex-dev/auth/providers/Email';
import { Resend as ResendAPI } from 'resend';
import { alphabet, generateRandomString } from 'oslo/crypto';

type Locale = 'en' | 'ko';
const emailTemplates: Record<Locale, { subject: string; text: (token: string) => string }> = {
  en: { subject: 'Verify your email', text: (token) => `Code: ${token}` },
  ko: { subject: '이메일 인증', text: (token) => `코드: ${token}` },
};

export const ResendOTP = Email({
  id: 'resend-otp',
  apiKey: process.env.AUTH_RESEND_KEY,
  async generateVerificationToken() { return generateRandomString(8, alphabet('0-9')); },
  async sendVerificationRequest({ identifier: email, provider, token }) {
    const template = emailTemplates['en']; // Hardcoded, no locale support
    const resend = new ResendAPI(provider.apiKey);
    await resend.emails.send({ from: 'Auth <onboarding@resend.dev>', to: [email], subject: template.subject, text: template.text(token) });
  },
});
import { Email } from '@convex-dev/auth/providers/Email';
import { Resend as ResendAPI } from 'resend';
import { alphabet, generateRandomString } from 'oslo/crypto';

type Locale = 'en' | 'ko';
const emailTemplates: Record<Locale, { subject: string; text: (token: string) => string }> = {
  en: { subject: 'Verify your email', text: (token) => `Code: ${token}` },
  ko: { subject: '이메일 인증', text: (token) => `코드: ${token}` },
};

export const ResendOTP = Email({
  id: 'resend-otp',
  apiKey: process.env.AUTH_RESEND_KEY,
  async generateVerificationToken() { return generateRandomString(8, alphabet('0-9')); },
  async sendVerificationRequest({ identifier: email, provider, token }) {
    const template = emailTemplates['en']; // Hardcoded, no locale support
    const resend = new ResendAPI(provider.apiKey);
    await resend.emails.send({ from: 'Auth <onboarding@resend.dev>', to: [email], subject: template.subject, text: template.text(token) });
  },
});


#### Requested Feature
Add support for passing
customData
customData
(e.g.,
{ locale: 'ko' }
{ locale: 'ko' }
) to
sendVerificationRequest
sendVerificationRequest
so I can dynamically select email templates based on locale.

#### Example
const template = emailTemplates[customData?.locale || 'en'];
await resend.emails.send({ ... });
const template = emailTemplates[customData?.locale || 'en'];
await resend.emails.send({ ... });


#### Why?
- Enables multi-language email support.
- Increases flexibility for custom email logic.

#### Current Limitation
-
sendVerificationRequest
sendVerificationRequest
only takes
{ identifier, provider, token }
{ identifier, provider, token }
, no way to pass locale.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
