afterInsert( )

A hook that is triggered after an insert() operation.

The afterInsert() hook runs when:

• The insert() function is called.
• An action is performed on a dataset that inserts a new item into the collection.
• An item is inserted using the CMS.
• An item is imported into the Sandbox or Live collection.

Return an object or a Promise that resolves to an object from the afterInsert() function. The returned object will be used as the result of the call to the insert() function instead of the actual item inserted into the collection. If returning a Promise, the object is used as the result, whether the Promise is fulfilled or rejected.

If the returned value is of the wrong type, the value is ignored.

A rejected Promise also calls the onFailure() hook if it has been registered.

Because the afterInsert hook is called after the insert() is executed, it cannot affect the item that is inserted into the collection. It can only affect the item returned by insert().
