Directus - Cancel action hook before creation

Question

Is there any way to cancel an action hook on Directus before the data writing on database?

Ex. I want to send an complex email using a hook and not writing the data on database.

Yes, i know that Directus has a endpoint for email, but it's very simple and no meet my necessities.

To be clear: What is the method for canceling an action or filter? Anybody know?

Thanks a lot!

Using an event hook... by default, the Hooks occur after an event has happened. But you can append :before to the end to explicitly specify when the Hook should fire. This would allow you to send an email and/or cancel the action.

item.delete:before
