STRAPI: Triggering a cloud function when a new collection type object is created

Question

I am currently working with STRAPI (which is a headless CMS), I need to hit a cloud function whenever an object is created in a collection.

Is there any way to achieve this?

TIA.

You could use lifecycle hooks for that.

// ./src/api/[api-name]/content-types/[api-name]/lifecycles.js

module.exports = {
  beforeCreate(event) {
    const { data, where, select, populate } = event.params;

    // do something
  },

  afterCreate(event) {
    const { result, params } = event;

    // do something to the result;
  },
};
