Invitation email

I probably missed something but in the doc, I don't understand how the invitation email is actually sent. We can read this: 
await authClient.organization.inviteMember({
    role: "admin", //this can also be an array for multiple roles (e.g. ["admin", "sale"])
})
await authClient.organization.inviteMember({
    role: "admin", //this can also be an array for multiple roles (e.g. ["admin", "sale"])
})
No email is sent as obviously, better-auth doesn't know how to send an email.
My stack: - Sveltekit - Drizzle + Zod - Better-auth Here is my config 
{
  baseURL: "http://localhost:5173",
  secret: AUTH_SECRET || "your-secret-key-at-least-32-characters",
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: "pg",
    schema: schema,
  }),
  user: {
    additionalFields: {
      firstName: {
        type: "string",
        required: true,
        input: true
      },
      lastName: {
        type: "string",
        required: true,
        input: true
      },
      role: {
        type: "string",
        required: true,
        input: false
      }
    }
  },
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
    fromEmail: "[email protected]"
  },
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    organization(),
    admin()
  ],
  
  debug: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
}

    },
  },
  plugins: [
    organization(),
    admin()
  ],
  
  debug: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
}
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

hey @DarkZelus , check out this part of the docs : https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization#setup-invitation-email Here is the example from there 
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
import { organization } from "better-auth/plugins"
import { sendOrganizationInvitation } from "./email"
export const auth = betterAuth({
    plugins: [
        organization({
            async sendInvitationEmail(data) {
                const inviteLink = `https://example.com/accept-invitation/${data.id}`
                sendOrganizationInvitation({
                        email: data.email,
                        invitedByUsername: data.inviter.user.name,
                        invitedByEmail: data.inviter.user.email,
                        teamName: data.organization.name,
                        inviteLink
                    })
            },
        }),
    ],
});
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
import { organization } from "better-auth/plugins"
import { sendOrganizationInvitation } from "./email"
export const auth = betterAuth({
    plugins: [
        organization({
            async sendInvitationEmail(data) {
                const inviteLink = `https://example.com/accept-invitation/${data.id}`
                sendOrganizationInvitation({
                        email: data.email,
                        invitedByUsername: data.inviter.user.name,
                        invitedByEmail: data.inviter.user.email,
                        teamName: data.organization.name,
                        inviteLink
                    })
            },
        }),
    ],
});
where then sendOrganizationInvitation is a function you create to use a email provider of your choice
