3. The token is verified using the verifyTempToken function.
4. A verification code is generated.
5. A connection to the database is established.
6. The verification code is saved in the TempUser collection.
7. The email address is retrieved from the TempUser collection.
8. The email is sent using Nodemailer with the verification code.
9. The response is returned indicating the successful email sending.
10. Appropriate error responses are returned for unauthorized access or email sending failure.
