I’ve been watching Jessie, James, and Meowth failing for almost two years now with my daughter. It’s fun and both of us enjoy the show. I never really watched em when they first aired. Surprised me a bit. What surprised me, even more, is that they promote some great virtues along the show like never give up, teamwork, give your best and don’t be an arrogant asshole.

And that goes along down the line to your dev position.

This morning I was in a meeting of the project from stone age to talk about the proof of concept app we did. 6 people, including me, with a total of 4 different companies (or self-employed). And at least 4 different pairs of glasses on. That’s a hell of a lot of opinions and intentions. And blind spots.

So, today we are going to use Zapier for sending the email notification. To follow along, you obviously need a Zapier account. The free is enough.

So, let’s start with sending emails first. As with most things in Spring Boot, it is straightforward. The central class in Spring for sending emails is the JavaMailSender. It provides an interface simplifying the whole mail creation process, especially with mime types.

Sometimes we need to trigger a human to continue a task; manual reviews, todos or whatever. In my particular case, an action in the system should trigger a human to review an entry and manually approve it. For that, we got multiple options and I thought I include you in the reasoning process.
