Research direction

Investigate the function at api/mail.go line 145 to understand how the action link is generated. The issue occurs when SMTP environment variables are missing. Look at the mailer configuration and how it handles missing env vars. Consider adding a check before generating the link to ensure SMTP settings are present, and return an appropriate error instead of an empty string.
