+### Hooking the post-generate process
+
+In some scenarios you may want to do something _(in other words - execute some logic)_ **after generation of the image**.
+This can be easily done by providing function to `hook` configuration property. The only parameter is `NextApiRequest` object with `image` attached to it.

+import { withOGImage } from 'next-api-og-image'

 ### Splitting files
 
 Keeping all the templates inline within [Next.js API route][next-api-routes] should not be problematic, but if you prefer keeping things in separate files you can follow the common pattern of creating files like `my-template.html.js` or `my-template.js` when you define template as react _(naming convention is fully up to you)_ with code e.g.
