Email the owner on every order

This is the lesson where your app starts doing something on its own. Until now, an order sat quietly in a database table. After this lesson, the moment a customer presses Place order, an email lands in Adjoa's inbox, on her phone, while she's cooking.

For a small business, that email is the order system. It's what makes a client say "the website brought me three orders this morning". It's also where beginners make a mistake that loses real orders: sending the email before the order is saved, or letting an email problem break the whole form. You'll build it the safe way from the start: save first, then tell.
