Unable to Access Created Endpoint

Hi community,

We’re currently trying to create a custom endpoint using Directus extensions to integrate with a system that can’t be handled via flows. However, we’re running into issues accessing the extension in our project, despite following the official documentation:

Here are the steps we followed:

  1. Created a new endpoint extension via npx create-directus-extension@latest (run from the project root), using the interactive options.

    → This successfully generated a folder with the extension name.

  2. Ran npm run build, which correctly produced a dist folder containing the index.js.

  3. From here, we were unsure about the correct procedure to make the custom endpoint accessible in the application.

  1. We tried creating a new folder under ./package_extensions with the same name as the extension (waba-entry), and placed inside it both the built index.js from the dist folder and the package.json.

    → After restarting the project locally, the endpoint still wasn’t accessible.

    → Accessing https://<projectname>.com/waba-entry/ only returns a generic 404 error.

At this point, we’re unsure what step we might be missing in order to properly register and expose the extension.

Could you clarify the correct process to make a custom endpoint accessible in Directus?

Thanks in advance for your support!
