Sendgrid Notification on Customer creation

[sudden mango]

Hi! I want to send an email to the customers that register for the first time. I figured it shouldn't be too hard since Medusa already offers the event customer.created (https://docs.medusajs.com/development/events/events-list#customer-events)

So I wanted to ask if my plan is correct:

• create a new subscribe that listens to the event customer.created in the /src/subscribers directory of the backend repo.
• send email via the sendgrid plugin when the event is triggered

It made sense to me, so I went and created this class in /src/subscribers/customerCreatedNotifier.ts

import { Customer } from "@medusajs/medusa"

/**
 * https://docs.medusajs.com/development/events/events-list#customer-events
 * customer.created event
 */
class CustomerCreatedNotifierSubscriber {
    constructor({ eventBusService }) {
        eventBusService.subscribe("customer.created", this.handleCustomerCreated)
    }

    handleCustomerCreated = async (customerData: Customer) => {
        //TODO: send email via sendgrid plugin
    }
}

export default CustomerCreatedNotifierSubscriber;

But now I'm stuck... I can't really figure out how to send the mail using the sendgrid plugin, since there is very little documentation on it (https://www.npmjs.com/package/medusa-plugin-sendgrid)

Does someone know how to do it? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I think the sendgrid plugin currently does not handle customer.created event

But it should be very easy to implement. You'll have to add some lines to the /src/services/sendgrid.js
and create subscriber for it.

Check out this plugin which includes customer.created for reference -

You can submit a PR once you implement 🙂

😅 Did not know that

Ah very nice! didnt know how I could access the sendgridService

But i mean there isn’t really a reason why it’s not directly implemented in the SendGrid Plug-in or is there? Cause then everyone using the plug-in could just use it without adding their own subscriber

Would you say it's a Bug report (I need to choose it for a new issue on github...) Cause Feature request just opens a github discussion
