Since I create new users exclusively via API query, as I manage the users via my existing web application, I could prevent the sending of the confirmation email by already setting isEmailConfirmed = true in the API query.
Setting param "is_email_confirmed" = true wont work.
Something like:
$post_params = [
"data" => [
"attributes" => [
"email" => "user@example.com",
"password" => "user_password",
"isEmailConfirmed" => true
]
]
];
