runafter vs wrapper-action

Hi there, I'm wondering what is the suggested approach for the following scenario: an API endpoint that needs to perform a mutation, (optionally retrieve some data,) and the perform an operation over the network, like an httpcall.
At the moment I have two different cases in which I'm adopting two different strategies:
- I'm sending emails after storing an invitation record in convex using
scheduler.runAfer(0, internal.emails.sendemail)
scheduler.runAfer(0, internal.emails.sendemail)
from whitin the mutation that stores the invitation record
- I'm sending push notification after storing a message in convex. I have a convex action that wraps (1) the mutation that stores the message; (2) the query to retrieve the push subscriptions; (3) the action to send the notifications.

What would be the suggested approach for this kind of scenarios?

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
