Unclear about using TargetID in Messaging with serverless function
I want to write a serverless function using Messaging and a Custom SMTP server to send an email to a user. Sounds simple enough, right? But I don't get it. I can use the UserId or if I have just the email address I can get the UserId with a query, but do I need another query to get the targetID (of the email) for sending a message? That seems pretty laborious. Is there another way or am I thinking about this all wrong?
TL;DR
Developers are confused about using TargetID in Messaging with a serverless function. They are unsure if they need an additional query to get the TargetID for sending an email. The process seems complicated and laborious. The solution is to directly use the email address as the TargetID for sending a message, eliminating the need for an extra query.Unclear about using TargetID in Messaging with serverless function
