ViewsWebhooks Directus 9 - send an email when user create a record in a table
I created the "mission" collection. I want to send an email to a personalized recipient for each new recording on the mission table.
According to the Directus documentation, I saw that this is possible via webHooks.
However, I don't quite understand the logic. Especially since in the Directus administration interface, there is a page to add webhooks and link them to the collection concerned.
Can you tell me where I should start to achieve my POC.
I also put some screenshots on the architecture of my app, you can tell me if this is really how it should be or not. I have doubts.
{
"name": "test1-directus",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "directus start"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"directus": "^9.0.0-rc.91",
"mysql": "^2.18.1",
"nodemailer": "^6.6.3"
}
}I created a project with the command: npx create-directus-project test1directus My project is running on port 8055 with a reverse proxy setting on nginx.
Is everything OK or did I miss a step?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I found this example to put in: extensions / hooks / sync-with-external / index.js
After several modifications, this error persists on my writing:
An error was thrown while executing hook "items.create" Cannot destructure property 'mission' of 'undefined' as it is undefined.
The console.log doesn't show me anything.
const axios = require("axios");
module.exports = function registerHook({ services, exceptions }) {
const { MailService } = services;
const { ServiceUnavailableException, ForbiddenException } = exceptions;
return {
// Force everything to be admin-only at all times
"items.*": async function ({ item, accountability }) {
if (accountability.admin !== true) throw new ForbiddenException();
},
// Sync with external recipes service, cancel creation on failure
"items.create": async function (input, { mission, schema }) {
console.log(items);
if (mission !== "recipes") return input;
const mailService = new MailService({ schema });
try {
await axios.post("https://example.com/items", input);
await mailService.send({
to: "pseudo.pseudo@gmail.com",
template: {
name: "item-created",
data: {
collection: mission,
},
},
});
} catch (error) {
throw new ServiceUnavailableException(error);
}
input[0].syncedWithExample = true;
return input;
},
};
};
