-## 🧠 Concepts
-
-### Models
-Define schemas using JSON:
-```json
-{
-  "name": "product",
-  "description": "E-commerce product schema",
-  "fields": [
-    { "name": "name", "type": "string", "required": true },
-    { "name": "price", "type": "number", "required": true },
-    { "name": "stock", "type": "number", "default": 0 },
-    { "name": "category", "type": "relation", "relation": "taxonomy",
-       "relationFilter": { "$eq": ["$type", "category"] }
-    },
-    { "name": "tags", "type": "relation", "relation": "taxonomy", "multiple": true,
-       "relationFilter": { "$eq": ["$type", "keyword"] }
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-### Smart Relations
-- Handles up to 2,000 direct relations by default (can be customized)
-- For larger datasets, use intermediate collections
-- Automatic indexing on key fields
-- Custom indexing on fields
-- Custom fields :

-## 🏗️ Use Case Examples
-
-### 🛒 E-Commerce Backoffice
-- Install ecommerce-starter pack
-- Add products via API/UI
-- Customize order workflows
-
-### 🎫 Support Ticket System
-- Create ticket model with [open, pending, resolved] statuses
-- Configure notification workflows
-- Add custom endpoints or dashboards/kpi for analytics
-
-### 🤖 AI Chatbot 
-- Define your model
-- Set up workflow: "When new entry → generate AI content"
-
-### 📧 Email Campaign Management
-The "Marketing & Campaigning" starter pack provides a powerful solution for sending large-scale email campaigns without overloading your server.
-
-- **Install the Pack**: A single command installs the necessary models (`campaign`, `audience`) and a sophisticated workflow.
-- **Dynamic Audiences**: Create target audiences with MongoDB filters. For example, select all contacts with the "newsletter" tag or located in a specific country.
-- **Personalized Content**: Use variables like `{recipient.firstName}` in the subject and body of your emails for a personal touch.
-- **Automated & Scalable Sending**: When you schedule a campaign, a pre-configured workflow takes over:
-    - It processes your audience in small batches (e.g., 10 recipients at a time).
-    - It sends emails to each batch and waits before processing the next, ensuring stability.
-    - It tracks processed recipients to avoid duplicates and allow the campaign to be safely paused and resumed.
-    - Once all emails are sent, the campaign is automatically marked as "completed".
-
-This use case demonstrates how starter packs and workflows can automate complex, performance-critical business logic right out of the box.

-### Data Auditing & History 
-data-primals-engine includes a built-in, automatic auditing system that creates a complete history for every record in your database. 
-
->This feature is essential for traceability, debugging, and maintaining a clear audit trail of all data manipulations. 
-
-#### How It Works 
-The history feature is non-intrusive and fully automatic. 
-
-Whenever you use the standard data management functions (insertData, patchData, deleteData, etc.), the engine performs two actions: 
-1.  It executes the requested operation (create, update, or delete) on the target document. 
-2.  It saves a complete "snapshot" of the document's state into a dedicated history collection. 
-
->Each history entry contains the original data along with crucial metadata: 
--   `_op`: The type of operation (i for insert, u for update, d for delete). 
--   `_v`: The version number of the record. 
--   `_user`: The username of the user who performed the action. 
--   `_updatedAt`: The timestamp of the operation. 
--   `_rid`: The ID of the original record, linking all history entries together. 
-
-### Accessing the History 
-You can retrieve the full history for any record via a simple API endpoint: 
-```x-sh
-curl -X GET http://localhost:7633/api/data/history/:modelName/:recordId
-```

-
-## Workflows: Automate Your Business Logic
-
-> Workflows are the automation engine of your application. 
-
-They allow you to define complex business processes that run in response to specific events, without writing custom code. 
-
-This is perfect for tasks like **sending welcome emails**, managing **order fulfillment**, or triggering data synchronization.
-
-A workflow is composed of two main parts: **Triggers** and **Actions**.
-
-> A 'workflowTrigger' is the event that initiates a workflow run.
-- **DataAdded**: Fires when a new document is created (e.g., a new user signs up).
-- **DataEdited**: Fires when a document is updated (e.g., an order status changes to "shipped").
-- **DataDeleted**: Fires when a document is removed.
-- **Scheduled**: Runs at a specific time or interval using a Cron expression (e.g., 0 0 * * * for a nightly data cleanup job).
-- **Manual**: Triggered on-demand via an API call, allowing you to integrate workflows into any part of your application.
-
-> A 'workflowAction' is the individual steps a workflow executes. You can chain them together to create sophisticated logic.
-- **CreateData**: Create a new document in any model.
-- **UpdateData**: Modify one or more existing documents that match a filter.
-- **SendEmail**: Send a transactional email using dynamic data from the trigger.
-- **HttpRequest**: Make an HTTP request (GET, POST, etc.) to an external service or API.
-- **ExecuteScript**: Run a custom JavaScript snippet for complex logic, data transformation, or conditional branching.
-- **GenerateAIContent**: Use an integrated AI provider (like OpenAI or Gemini) to generate text, summarize content, or make decisions.
-- **Wait**: Pause the workflow for a specific duration before continuing to the next step
-
-See the details of the workflow models for more details.
-
-## ⚡ Dynamic API Endpoints
-Beyond standard CRUD operations, data-primals-engine allows you to create your own custom API endpoints directly from the UI. This feature acts like a built-in serverless function environment, enabling you to write custom business logic, integrate with third-party services, or create complex data aggregations on the fly.
-
-Your code is executed in a secure, isolated sandbox, with access to the core data functions and the incoming request context.
-
-### How It Works
-Define an Endpoint: You create a new document in the endpoint model.
-Write Your Logic: In the code field, you write the JavaScript that will be executed.
-Activate: The engine automatically listens for requests on /api/actions/:path that match your endpoint's definition.
-
-### The endpoint Model
-To create a custom endpoint, you need to define a document with the following structure:
-```json
-{
-  "name": "GetContactPostCount",
-  "path": "postCount/:name",
-  "method": "GET",
-  "code": "const posts = await db.find('content', { author: { $find: { $eq: ['$lastName', request.params.name]}}}); return { postCount: posts.length };",
-  "isActive": true,
-  "isPublic": true
-}
-```
-| Field    | Type    | Description                                                          | 
-|:---------|:--------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| name     | string  | A descriptive name for your endpoint (e.g., "Calculate User Stats"). | 
-| path     | string  | The URL path. It can include parameters like :id.                    | 
-| method   | enum    | The HTTP method: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE.                   | 
-| code     | code    | The JavaScript code to execute when the endpoint is called.          |
-| isActive | boolean | A flag to enable or disable the endpoint without deleting it.        |
-| isPublic | boolean | A flag to enable public access (private by default).                 |
----
-
-### The Execution Context
-Your JavaScript code runs in an async context and has access to several global objects that are securely injected into the sandbox:
-Your current user is used to make the calls.
-
-#### The context Object
-> This object contains all the information about the incoming HTTP request.
-- context.request.**body**: The parsed request body (for POST, PUT, PATCH).
-- context.request.**query**: The URL query parameters as an object.
-- context.request.**params**: The URL path parameters (e.g., username from /user-summary/:username).
-- context.request.**headers**: The incoming request headers.
-
-#### The db Object
-> A secure API to interact with the database. All methods are async and must be awaited. They automatically operate within the authenticated user's permissions.
-- await db.**create**(modelName, dataObject): Inserts a new document.
-- await db.**find**(modelName, filter): Finds multiple documents. Returns an array.
-- await db.**findOne**(modelName, filter): Finds a single document. Returns an object or null.
-- await db.**update**(modelName, filter, updateObject): Partially updates documents matching the filter (similar to a PATCH).
-- await db.**delete**(modelName, filter): Deletes documents matching the filter.
-
-#### The logger Object
-> A safe way to log messages from your script. These logs will be collected and can be returned in the API response if an error occurs, which is very useful for debugging.
-- logger.**info**(...args)
-- logger.**warn**(...args)
-- logger.**error**(...args)
-
-#### The env Object
-> Provides access to the user-defined variables stored in the env model, not the server's process.env.
-- await env.**get**(variableName): Retrieves a single environment variable's value.
-- await env.**getAll**(): Retrieves all user environment variables as an object.
-
-#### Example: Creating a User Summary Endpoint
-Let's create an endpoint that fetches a user's profile and counts how many posts they have published.
-1. Create the Endpoint Document
-   Create a new document in the endpoint model with the following data:
-```json
-{
-    "name": "Get User Summary",
-    "path": "user-summary/:username",
-    "method": "GET",
-    "isActive": true,
-    "code": "const { username } = context.request.params;\n\n  if (!username) {\n    logger.error('Username parameter is required.');\n    return { success: false, error: 'Username is required.' };\n  }\n\n  logger.info(`Fetching summary for user: ${username}`);\n\n  // Fetch the user profile using the sandboxed db API\n  const userProfile = await db.findOne('userProfile', { username: username });\n\n  if (!userProfile) {\n    return { success: false, error: 'User not found' };\n  }\n\n  // Count the user's published posts\n  const posts = await db.find('post', { \n    authorId: userProfile._id.toString(), \n    status: 'published' \n  });\n\n  return {\n    profile: userProfile,\n    publishedPosts: posts.length\n  };\n});",
-}
-```
-2. Call the New Endpoint
-   You can now call this custom endpoint like any other API route:
-
-Expected response :
-```json
-{
-  "profile": {
-    "_id": "60d0fe4f5311236168a109ca",
-    "username": "demo",
-    "bio": "A demo user profile.",
-    "...": "..."
-  },
-  "publishedPosts": 15
-}
-
-```
-
----
-## Extensibility
-
-### Events (Triggers) Table
-> You can use the events below to access the engine and manipulate API responses.
-> It is useful for custom modules or middlewares for your application.
-
-Just use
-
-```javascript
-Event.Listen("OnDataAdded", (data) => {
-     my_callback()
-}, "event", "user");
-```
-
-or the system version
-```javascript
-Event.Listen("OnDataAdded", (engine, data) => {
-     my_callback()
-}, "event", "system");
-```
-
-| Event            | Description                                                             | Scope         | Triggered by         | Arguments (Payload)                                                                                                                      |

-### Triggering events
-
-If you want to provide your own hooks, you can call :
-```javascript
-const result = await Event.Trigger("OnMyCustomEvent", "event", "user", ...args);
-```
-Results are merged together if multiple events are triggered.
-- strings are concatenated
-- numbers are added
-- booleans are ANDed
-- arrays are concatenated
-- objects are merged using spread operator

+
+## 🧠 Concepts
+
+### Models
+Define schemas using JSON:
+```json
+{
+  "name": "product",
+  "description": "E-commerce product schema",
+  "fields": [
+    { "name": "name", "type": "string", "required": true },
+    { "name": "price", "type": "number", "required": true },
+    { "name": "stock", "type": "number", "default": 0 },
+    { "name": "category", "type": "relation", "relation": "taxonomy",
+       "relationFilter": { "$eq": ["$type", "category"] }
+    },
+    { "name": "tags", "type": "relation", "relation": "taxonomy", "multiple": true,
+       "relationFilter": { "$eq": ["$type", "keyword"] }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+### Smart Relations
+- Handles up to 2,000 direct relations by default (can be customized)
+- For larger datasets, use intermediate collections
+- Automatic indexing on key fields
+- Custom indexing on fields
+- Custom fields :
+
+| Type        | Description                                                                         | 	Properties/Notes                                                         |

+- **Dynamic Audiences**: Create target audiences with MongoDB filters. For example, select all contacts with the "newsletter" tag or located in a specific country.
+- **Personalized Content**: Use variables like `{recipient.firstName}` in the subject and body of your emails for a personal touch.
+- **Automated & Scalable Sending**: When you schedule a campaign, a pre-configured workflow takes over:
+    - It processes your audience in small batches (e.g., 10 recipients at a time).
+    - It sends emails to each batch and waits before processing the next, ensuring stability.
+    - It tracks processed recipients to avoid duplicates and allow the campaign to be safely paused and resumed.
+    - Once all emails are sent, the campaign is automatically marked as "completed".
+
+This use case demonstrates how starter packs and workflows can automate complex, performance-critical business logic right out of the box.

+### Data Auditing & History 
+data-primals-engine includes a built-in, automatic auditing system that creates a complete history for every record in your database. 
+
+>This feature is essential for traceability, debugging, and maintaining a clear audit trail of all data manipulations. 
+
+#### How It Works 
+The history feature is non-intrusive and fully automatic. 
+
+Whenever you use the standard data management functions (insertData, patchData, deleteData, etc.), the engine performs two actions: 
+1.  It executes the requested operation (create, update, or delete) on the target document. 
+2.  It saves a complete "snapshot" of the document's state into a dedicated history collection. 
+
+>Each history entry contains the original data along with crucial metadata: 
+-   `_op`: The type of operation (i for insert, u for update, d for delete). 
+-   `_v`: The version number of the record. 
+-   `_user`: The username of the user who performed the action. 
+-   `_updatedAt`: The timestamp of the operation. 
+-   `_rid`: The ID of the original record, linking all history entries together. 
+
+### Accessing the History 
+You can retrieve the full history for any record via a simple API endpoint: 
+```x-sh
+curl -X GET http://localhost:7633/api/data/history/:modelName/:recordId
+```
+
+---
+
+## Workflows: Automate Your Business Logic
+
+> Workflows are the automation engine of your application. 
+
+They allow you to define complex business processes that run in response to specific events, without writing custom code. 
+
+This is perfect for tasks like **sending welcome emails**, managing **order fulfillment**, or triggering data synchronization.
+
+A workflow is composed of two main parts: **Triggers** and **Actions**.
+
+> A 'workflowTrigger' is the event that initiates a workflow run.
+- **DataAdded**: Fires when a new document is created (e.g., a new user signs up).
+- **DataEdited**: Fires when a document is updated (e.g., an order status changes to "shipped").
+- **DataDeleted**: Fires when a document is removed.
+- **Scheduled**: Runs at a specific time or interval using a Cron expression (e.g., 0 0 * * * for a nightly data cleanup job).
+- **Manual**: Triggered on-demand via an API call, allowing you to integrate workflows into any part of your application.
+
+> A 'workflowAction' is the individual steps a workflow executes. You can chain them together to create sophisticated logic.
+- **CreateData**: Create a new document in any model.
+- **UpdateData**: Modify one or more existing documents that match a filter.
+- **SendEmail**: Send a transactional email using dynamic data from the trigger.
+- **HttpRequest**: Make an HTTP request (GET, POST, etc.) to an external service or API.
+- **ExecuteScript**: Run a custom JavaScript snippet for complex logic, data transformation, or conditional branching.
+- **GenerateAIContent**: Use an integrated AI provider (like OpenAI or Gemini) to generate text, summarize content, or make decisions.
+- **Wait**: Pause the workflow for a specific duration before continuing to the next step
+
+See the details of the workflow models for more details.
+
+## ⚡ Dynamic API Endpoints
+Beyond standard CRUD operations, data-primals-engine allows you to create your own custom API endpoints directly from the UI. This feature acts like a built-in serverless function environment, enabling you to write custom business logic, integrate with third-party services, or create complex data aggregations on the fly.
+
+Your code is executed in a secure, isolated sandbox, with access to the core data functions and the incoming request context.
+
+### How It Works
+Define an Endpoint: You create a new document in the endpoint model.
+Write Your Logic: In the code field, you write the JavaScript that will be executed.
+Activate: The engine automatically listens for requests on /api/actions/:path that match your endpoint's definition.
+
+### The endpoint Model
+To create a custom endpoint, you need to define a document with the following structure:
+```json
+{
+  "name": "GetContactPostCount",
+  "path": "postCount/:name",
+  "method": "GET",
+  "code": "const posts = await db.find('content', { author: { $find: { $eq: ['$lastName', request.params.name]}}}); return { postCount: posts.length };",
+  "isActive": true,
+  "isPublic": true
+}
+```
+| Field    | Type    | Description                                                          | 
+|:---------|:--------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| name     | string  | A descriptive name for your endpoint (e.g., "Calculate User Stats"). | 
+| path     | string  | The URL path. It can include parameters like :id.                    | 
+| method   | enum    | The HTTP method: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE.                   | 
+| code     | code    | The JavaScript code to execute when the endpoint is called.          |
+| isActive | boolean | A flag to enable or disable the endpoint without deleting it.        |
+| isPublic | boolean | A flag to enable public access (private by default).                 |
+---
+
+### The Execution Context
+Your JavaScript code runs in an async context and has access to several global objects that are securely injected into the sandbox:
+Your current user is used to make the calls.
+
+#### The context Object
+> This object contains all the information about the incoming HTTP request.
+- context.request.**body**: The parsed request body (for POST, PUT, PATCH).
+- context.request.**query**: The URL query parameters as an object.
+- context.request.**params**: The URL path parameters (e.g., username from /user-summary/:username).
+- context.request.**headers**: The incoming request headers.
+
+#### The db Object
+> A secure API to interact with the database. All methods are async and must be awaited. They automatically operate within the authenticated user's permissions.
+- await db.**create**(modelName, dataObject): Inserts a new document.
+- await db.**find**(modelName, filter): Finds multiple documents. Returns an array.
+- await db.**findOne**(modelName, filter): Finds a single document. Returns an object or null.
+- await db.**update**(modelName, filter, updateObject): Partially updates documents matching the filter (similar to a PATCH).
+- await db.**delete**(modelName, filter): Deletes documents matching the filter.
+
+#### The logger Object
+> A safe way to log messages from your script. These logs will be collected and can be returned in the API response if an error occurs, which is very useful for debugging.
+- logger.**info**(...args)
+- logger.**warn**(...args)
+- logger.**error**(...args)
+
+#### The env Object
+> Provides access to the user-defined variables stored in the env model, not the server's process.env.
+- await env.**get**(variableName): Retrieves a single environment variable's value.
+- await env.**getAll**(): Retrieves all user environment variables as an object.
+
+#### Example: Creating a User Summary Endpoint
+Let's create an endpoint that fetches a user's profile and counts how many posts they have published.
+1. Create the Endpoint Document
+   Create a new document in the endpoint model with the following data:
+```json
+{
+    "name": "Get User Summary",
+    "path": "user-summary/:username",
+    "method": "GET",
+    "isActive": true,
+    "code": "const { username } = context.request.params;\n\n  if (!username) {\n    logger.error('Username parameter is required.');\n    return { success: false, error: 'Username is required.' };\n  }\n\n  logger.info(`Fetching summary for user: ${username}`);\n\n  // Fetch the user profile using the sandboxed db API\n  const userProfile = await db.findOne('userProfile', { username: username });\n\n  if (!userProfile) {\n    return { success: false, error: 'User not found' };\n  }\n\n  // Count the user's published posts\n  const posts = await db.find('post', { \n    authorId: userProfile._id.toString(), \n    status: 'published' \n  });\n\n  return {\n    profile: userProfile,\n    publishedPosts: posts.length\n  };\n});",
+}
+```
+2. Call the New Endpoint
+   You can now call this custom endpoint like any other API route:
+
+Expected response :
+```json
+{
+  "profile": {
+    "_id": "60d0fe4f5311236168a109ca",
+    "username": "demo",
+    "bio": "A demo user profile.",
+    "...": "..."
+  },
+  "publishedPosts": 15
+}
+
+```
+
+---
+## Extensibility
+
+### Events (Triggers) Table
+> You can use the events below to access the engine and manipulate API responses.
+> It is useful for custom modules or middlewares for your application.
+
+Just use
+
+```javascript
+Event.Listen("OnDataAdded", (data) => {
+     my_callback()
+}, "event", "user");
+```
+
+or the system version
+```javascript
+Event.Listen("OnDataAdded", (engine, data) => {
+     my_callback()
+}, "event", "system");
+```
+
+| Event            | Description                                                             | Scope         | Triggered by         | Arguments (Payload)                                                                                                                      |

+### Triggering events
+
+If you want to provide your own hooks, you can call :
+```javascript
+const result = await Event.Trigger("OnMyCustomEvent", "event", "user", ...args);
+```
+Results are merged together if multiple events are triggered.
+- strings are concatenated
+- numbers are added
+- booleans are ANDed
+- arrays are concatenated
+- objects are merged using spread operator
