User being created when sending magic link

[aunumever]

I am using the generateLink() function on the server in order to send a user that is logging in a magic link. I want to generate the link so I can send it through a third-party mail provider, not through Supabase.

However, every time I use the function, it creates the user, which I do not want. shouldCreateUser does not exist as an option whengenerateLink() is called for some reason, but exists if I call signIn() from the front end (still sending a magic link).

Why is this the case? How can I generate a link for a user without a new user being created? This allows all incorrectly entered emails and test emails to flood the db table.

According to the docs, this should only be called on the server. A couple of questions:

• How are you calling this method?
• What parameters are you using? signup | magiclink | recovery | invite
• inviteUserByEmail() seems similar, have you tried that one?

I'm interested in figuring this one out too!
