-### Example: Using @xtr-dev/payload-mailing
-
-```typescript
-import { notificationsPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-notifications'
-import { mailingPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-mailing'
-
-// Configure the mailing plugin
-const mailing = mailingPlugin({
-  // ... your mailing config
-})
-
-// Add email notifications using collection overrides
-const notifications = notificationsPlugin({
-  channels: [{ id: 'default', name: 'Default' }],
-  collectionOverrides: {
-    notifications: (config) => ({
-      ...config,
-      hooks: {
-        ...config.hooks,
-        afterChange: [
-          ...(config.hooks?.afterChange || []),

-                let recipientId = doc.recipient

-                  collection: 'users',
-                  id: recipientId
-                })
-
-                if (!recipient?.email) return
-
-                // Extract plain text from rich text message
-                const extractText = (richText: any[]): string => {
-                  return richText
-                    .map(block =>

-
-                const messageText = extractText(doc.message)
-
-                // Send email using payload-mailing
-                await req.payload.create({
-                  collection: 'emails',
-                  data: {
-                    to: recipient.email,
-                    subject: doc.title,
-                    text: messageText,
-                    html: `
-                      <h2>${doc.title}</h2>

-                    `,
-                  }
-                })
-
-                console.log(`Email queued for ${recipient.email}`)
-              } catch (error) {
-                console.error('Failed to send notification email:', error)
-              }
-            }
-          }
-        ]
-      }
-    })
-  }
-})
-
-export default buildConfig({
-  plugins: [
-    mailing,
-    notifications,
-  ],
-  // ... rest of config
-})
-```

 **Important Notes:**
 - Always spread existing hooks (`...config.hooks`) to preserve plugin functionality
 - Use the spread operator for hook arrays (`...(config.hooks?.afterChange || [])`)
