hey @vivmagarwal this is awesome! What plugin will you build? Love how you're covering all these aspects! When will you have a draft ready?

Hi, @malgamves I'm working on updating the following blog: https://strapi.io/blog/how-to-build-a-strapi-custom-plugin. So the plugin would be allowing users to send an email directly from the plugin page. I will add a few more features to the plugin to introduce some more APIs. I think once it's updated, I'll add the link to the blog post here and we'll be good to close this issue.

Could you come up with another usecase? or do you mean you are working on updating that article @vivmagarwal

malgamves avatar Feb 24 '22 13:02 malgamves

Yes, @malgamves I am working on updating the article. In case you have a great use-case, I'll be happy to create a plugin first and then write on it!!

Could we do do something with Twilio or Courier? Sending notifications in Strapi? @vivmagarwal

Sure thing, I will surely explore it in the upcoming weekend. Thanks for the suggestion @malgamves
