cant understand how to use code workshop sample

[Spartano]

Issue Summary

Hi, i am just starting learning back end, know a bit of Node and Express and Heroku, but i was not able to even start the server, because i dont know were used and what command should i use .

I have found the code workshop for Node, but didnt knew what to do with the code.Maybe it's too complicated for a low level like me, i dont know.

So this is not a bug, but rather i am asking if you can make an step by step tutorial on where to put the code and how to start the server for an simple example like sending an mail from my email.

If you could build it using the heroku getting started project (https://github.com/heroku/node-js-getting-started.git) would be so much easy for us newbies.

Thank you, bye bye.

Hello @Spartano,

Thanks for the suggestion. What is your end goal? What is the context from which you want to send an email?

[Spartano]

i want to implement an webhook to my heroku app, in order to send mails to my mailing list subscribers.
If you do a step by step guide on how to do that too, you deserve to go in paradise from my point of view, haha. Bye, Victor.

Hello @Spartano,

That is a great idea, I'll keep this ticket open for that purpose.

Hi!

The main idea is to do a step by step guide, or just a demo implementation on the getting started repo?

[itaditya]

I have made a demo application which uses send grid webhooks, if you like it, I can recreate a demo which focuses mainly on the send grid email webhooks part.

Code is here

@itaditya this is awesome! It will accept webhook posts and store them in MongoDb?
Would you be up for putting a SendGrid specific version into our packages directory in this library? We have #507 open and, by making a PR and getting it accepted by us, we will send you a special SendGrid Hacktoberfest shirt, sticker, and a SendGrid hacker pin to say thank you!

@asantos00 I think the idea would be to implement a webhook consumer, similar to #507

@mbernier, what is the use of the package directory? I could only make out that you have placed nodejs modules in there. Do I have to add my project in that repo? Sorry a bit confused.. 😉

[mbernier]

@itaditya we are just adding separate items like this in their own directory in the packages dir, this way we can send them to NPM as different packages. So long as you add your code into that dir, we should be able to get everything wired up with NPM.
