I am creating my person website using Flutter-Web. I am using Firebase as back-end and will host the website on Firebase.
In my contact me page I have created a form with the following details
- Name
- Subject
- Message
I want to send this details to me via email and send the same details to email that was entered in E-Mail field
I planned to use https://firebase.google.com/products/extensions/firebase-firestore-send-email extension to send email.
Bellow is snippet for brief description.
How this extension works
Use this extension to render and send emails that contain the information from documents added to a specified Cloud Firestore collection.
Adding a document triggers this extension to send an email built from the document's fields. The document's top-level fields specify the email sender and recipients, including to, cc, and bcc options (each supporting UIDs). The document's message field specifies the other email elements, like subject line and email body (either plaintext or HTML)
My understanding is that I need to save the data in Firestore collection to trigger email. Am I getting it correct?
If so is their any way I can send an email without storing in Firestore collection for this particular extension?
If no what alternatives are available to me.
As this is a personal site cost of such service will be an issue.

Yes, that is correct.

No. This extension specific sends an email when a document is written to Firestore. It does nothing when no document is written to Firestore.

Product recommendations are off-topic on Stack Overflow, but search is probably your best friend here since you're looking for how to send an email from a Flutter app or a free service for sending email from your Flutter app.
