# Send email update code

`PATCH /user/account/email`

Begin a two-step email change flow by requesting a verification code.

This endpoint does not update the email address by itself.

Flow:

1. Call this endpoint with the target email address.
2. Read the verification code delivered to that address.
3. Call PUT /user/account/email to verify the code and complete the change.

Use this split flow when you need proof that the new email address is controlled by the user.

## Request body

- VerifyEmail — Email address used to trigger a verification email from Logto.
  - `email` string, email, required — Email address to verify

## Response `204`

A verification code was sent to the email address
