Is there a way to enable e-mail confirmation but PREVENT Supabase from sending the confirmation emails automatically? I want to send those e-mails myself using genrateLink() since I want to use a template from my custom SMTP provider and NOT use the templates in the Dashboard

I think these two things are tied together, another option would be for you to create your own email confirmation process on your own
public.profiles
table and handle it that way.

yeah, I looked at the GoTrue code in the repo and you just confirm what I saw there...I was hoping I am missing something.
I have a plan B and C, though - I will see if I can create a rule in my email provider to just throw away requests where the body of the email has some content
....or will try to give incorrect SMPT info in the Dashboard (although I suspect that this might fail the entire signUp request and prevent the addition of the user in the table, but we'll see)
https://ethereal.email - plan B it is 🙂

Are you currently hitting some sort of limitation of the provided email confirmation services?
c
currently, not, but I am still in testing phase
however, the Supabase docs claim that for prod it's recommended to use an actual email provider
but even if a limit is NOT a problem, once you setup a custom provider for things that are NOT supported by supabase (e.g. payment reminders, etc), I think it's just easier to keep your e-mails looking the same by having a single repository of templates
(instead of a set of templates in Supabase and a set of templates in the e-mail provider)

That make sense
