Event-Actions Framework

As an app admin, you can configure customized actions against pre-defined set of system events so that, when an event is executed, the corresponding action is triggered by the system. For example, when a user signs up, a notification email is triggered to the user. When a user purchases an NFT from a drop, using the webhook feature, you can send the notifications to different apps/platforms. Currently, we support Zapier and Mailchimp.

In the design console, go to Publish->Event-Actions->Modify. The app has some default email templates configured. However, you can configure Email or Webhook event-actions based on business requirement.
