  You can use a

  beforeChange

  or

  afterChange

  Hook that runs during a

  create

  operation on your collection.

  Here is a code snippet example of a collection afterchange hook:

  
  
  

  hooks: {
      afterChange: [
        ({ operation, req }) => {
          if (operation === 'create') {
            req.payload.sendEmail({
              to: 'john@doe.com',
              from: 'test@test.com',
              subject: 'Welcome!',
              text: 'Thank you for subscribing',
            });
          }
        },
      ],
    },

  sendEmail can accept an

  html

  property that can be a full email template you've created.

  
  
  

  For email sending, you'll need to hook up a proper email service. Docs here:

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/email/overview#email-functionality
  
  

  but it's not working.
  

  You'll need to be more specific.

  
  
  

  we want to use google service for email
  

  You'll need to use nodemailer's OAuth2 transport in order to send email using Gmail. Their docs on configuration are here:

  https://nodemailer.com/smtp/oauth2/
  
  

  In all honesty, unless you

  really need to send emails from gmail

  , I'd recommend going with another provider for sending email like Resend, SendGrid, or similar. The OAuth configuration for nodemailer looks cumbersome.
