Question: Actions and adding additional data.

[wh1337]

I was wondering, is there a way with the actions, to add additional data to a request?

For example, if a user creates a new post, I would like to add a new entry into the posts table, but also add a new entry into the posts_history table. Would the best way to accomplish this be to have it call an external API via the actions and then have that update and add a new entry into posts_history?

Hey @Cryptic-ai I think in this case you could use the Hasura Events feature. So, whenever a row is CREATED in yout post table, Hasura triggers an event for you to add that new row in the post_history table. Of course, the event will be triggering a function developed by you with all the customizations you need.
