  Yes! you can do this by adding a hook to your collection:

  
  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/hooks/collections
  

  
  

  Here's a little snippet:

  
  
  

  import { AfterChangeHook } from "payload/dist/collections/config/types";
  
  export const sendMailAfterCreate: AfterChangeHook = ({ req, operation, doc }) => {
    //we only want to handle "create operations".
    if(operation !== 'create') {
      return;
    }
  
    const {payload} = req;
  
    payload.sendEmail({
      from: '"Fred Foo 👻" <foo@example.com>', // sender address
      to: "bar@example.com, baz@example.com", // list of receivers
      subject: "Hello ✔", // Subject line
      text: "Hello world?", // plain text body
      html: "<b>Hello world?</b>", // html body
    });
  }

  Thank you buddy. I completely forgot about the hooks!
