Question

I am writing to seek advice on how can I implement the following logic below within my web-api application.

I currently have a web-api which can call data from the database,but I would like to add trigger within the API, which can create and send automatic emails to me, whenever there is a new record added into the database.

I am seeking any framework or advice, in what process is involved and what I need to implement for this task.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi Miss786,

If your requirement is to trigger emails only, I suggest sending mails from backend only.
You may create a a database trigger on that table and create/send emails.

if you want to configure the database itself.....then go for:
