send_contact_method_verification

send_contact_method_verification(**kwargs)

Sends a verification request to an email contact method to ensure it's owned by the requester. SMS contact methods don't need to be verified.

A contact method is used to send you notifications about your Amazon Lightsail resources. You can add one email address and one mobile phone number contact method in each Amazon Web Services Region. However, SMS text messaging is not supported in some Amazon Web Services Regions, and SMS text messages cannot be sent to some countries/regions. For more information, see Notifications in Amazon Lightsail.

A verification request is sent to the contact method when you initially create it. Use this action to send another verification request if a previous verification request was deleted, or has expired.

Warning

Notifications are not sent to an email contact method until after it is verified, and confirmed as valid.
