my function for sending email when specific events is triggered is not executed sometimes. sometimes is working properly, i am getting email ...when function is not executed i dont see any error. can someone please help, thanks

Summary

Issue: Function is not executed consistently when triggered by appwrite events. User is not receiving all expected email notifications. Solution: Add validation in the function to check if req.body has data before sending the email. Collaborate with others to investigate and improve logging for better understanding of the rare occurrence.

I can help! This sounds like a race condition or timing issue where your function sometimes runs before the event data is fully ready, or the event trigger itself is inconsistent.
To diagnose this better: Are you using any specific platform/framework (like AWS Lambda, Firebase, Node.js event emitters, etc.) and what event is triggering the email function?

i am using appwrite events and here is my function ```import nodemailer from "nodemailer";

export default async ({ req, res, log }) => {
try {
const body = req.body;

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
  port: Number(process.env.SMTP_PORT),
  secure: false,
  auth: {
    user: process.env.SMTP_USERNAME,
    pass: process.env.SMTP_PASSWORD,
  },
});

await transporter.sendMail({
  from: process.env.SMTP_FROM,
  to: process.env.SMTP_FROM,
  subject: "New Access Created",
  html: `
    <h2>Nový prístup vytvorený</h2>
  
        <p><strong>Užívateľ:</strong> ${body.userName}</p>
         <p><strong>Systém:</strong> ${body.systemName}</p>
            <p><strong>Pripojenie :</strong> ${body.connection}</p>
             <p><strong>Telefon:</strong> ${body.phone}</p>
              <p><strong>Email:</strong> ${body.email}</p>
      
            <p><strong>OrganizationICO:</strong> ${body.ICO}</p>
  `,
});

return res.send("Email sent");

} catch (err) {
log(err);
return res.send("Error sending email");
}
};```

I see the problem your function doesn't check if req.body actually has data before sending the email. Sometimes Appwrite sends empty payloads and your function just fails silently.
You need to add validation to check the body data exists before sending.
I can fix this for you and ensure it works reliably. Want to discuss this privately? We can sort it out quickly.
Feel free to DM me!

Hey Steve 👋
Can you provide me your project ID? I can check out logs and error reporting system to see if I can find any match.

Also, for when trigger doesnt happen, is is true that you dont see it in execution list at all?

I can only see one error from 22. Jan.

Is there any pattern you noticed with missing executions? I did a bit of digging in DB but couldn't find anything problematic on first sight.

Let me involve few folks here.

TLDR; Event-triggered executions not running, and no execution available in table.

@user This might indicate events not triggering function jobs. I recall edge-case for user creation in $queueForEvents, causing tests to fail. I think that was fixed, but any chance we can have same for document creation or deletion in specific situation?

@user In case this ends up being rare and random, can we do logging improvements, so telemetry has detailed steps, allowing us to understand it when it occurs next?
