There doesn’t appear to be any solution in any documentation or Posts. I have been searching for days.

First I tried SendGrid to send an email to a site member that is NOT logged in using the video tutorial by Nayeli. I had everything copied and customized perfectly, but the email was NOT sent.

Second I tried SendGrid REST using the example at https://www.wix.com/code-examples/sendgrid-rest-vw This seemed to work, it said email was sent successfully, however email was NOT sent.
My API Key was verified and works from the SendGrid dashboard.

Third I discovered Wix-users-backend emailUser(). This is exactly what I need so that I can send email from various parts of my code to non-logged in users. I thought this was my solution, I don’t even need SendGrid.

Here’s the problem… The Corvid API Reference gives the code for the front end only, but NOT the back end. Am I missing something? Does anyone else see this problem? I even tried guessing at the backend code from other examples.

Can anyone please help me with this backend code, I’m sure there are others as confused as I am.
I’ve spent a year building a very complicated site with no coding experience and this is the first real stumbling block I’ve found. Thank you to all contributors who have got me to where I am so far. I am hoping to launch within 2 weeks. Please help.

Thank you in advance.

This is the only sample code given. There must be a backend code, right?

import wixUsersBackend from ‘wix-users-backend’ ;

export function myBackendFunction () {
let userId = // get user ID

wixUsersBackend . emailUser ( “emailID” , userId )
. then ( () => {
// email has been sent
} )
. catch ( ( err ) => {
// there was an error sending the email
} );
}
