# Send Discovery Email OTP

> Send a discovery Email OTP using the Stytch Next.js SDK

export const organization = "Represents an instance or tenant in your application, typically mapping to each of your top-level customers.";

export const member = "Represents an individual end user's account within a given Organization, uniquely identified within that Organization by their email address.";

`otps.email.discovery.send` wraps the [Send Discovery OTP](/api-reference/b2b/api/email-otp/discovery/send-discovery-otp) endpoint.  Use this method to send a discovery Email OTP to a user.

After the user receives the OTP, they can use the [Authenticate Discovery OTP](./authenticate-discovery-email-otp) method to complete authentication.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="email_address" type="string" required>
  The email address to send the discovery Email OTP to.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="login_template_id" type="string">
  Use a custom template for discovery emails. By default, it will use your default email template. The template must be from Stytch's built-in customizations or a custom HTML email for Discovery - Login.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="locale" type="string">
  Used to determine which language to use when sending the user this delivery method. Parameter is an [IETF BCP 47 language tag](https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/), e.g. "en".

  Supported languages are English ("en"), Spanish ("es"), French ("fr") and Brazilian Portuguese ("pt-br"); if no value is provided, the copy defaults to English.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="request_id" type="string">
  Globally unique UUID that is returned with every API call. This value is important to log for debugging purposes; we
  may ask for this value to help identify a specific API call when helping you debug an issue.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="status_code" type="number">
  The HTTP status code of the response. Stytch follows standard HTTP response status code patterns, e.g. 2XX values
  equate to success, 3XX values are redirects, 4XX are client errors, and 5XX are server errors.
</ResponseField>
