Hi, I tried using notifiers but it looks like they block. Is there a way to run something in the background that is triggered by an actions e.g. user_created, etc

ZachDaniel:

There is nothing currently in Ash that helps you do that, although there likely will be plugins/extensions some day to help.

ZachDaniel:

The general pattern is to use elixir primitives (like genservers/supervised tasks) or to use a tool like Oban to do that work.

ZachDaniel:

Then in your notifier you would do something like GenServer.cast(server, ....) or Oban.insert!(....)

HarryET:

ah ok

thanks!
