useEffect and useMutation error about conditional rendering of hooks

I am using t3 stack with tRPC, and I am trying to mark all emails as seen when the page loads by using useEffect, but this seems to give me an error about conditional rendering of hooks. Are there any other ways I can accomplish this?

  const { mutate: markAsSeen } = api.paMail.markAsSeen.useMutation({
    onError: () => {
      ToastComponent({ message: "Database error", type: "error" });
    },
  });

  useEffect(() => {
    markAsSeen({ sentTo: paPlayer!.id });
  }, [markAsSeen]);

  const { mutate: markAsSeen } = api.paMail.markAsSeen.useMutation({
    onError: () => {
      ToastComponent({ message: "Database error", type: "error" });
    },
  });

  useEffect(() => {
    markAsSeen({ sentTo: paPlayer!.id });
  }, [markAsSeen]);

You probably have an if statement before usage of some hook

No, it reports the error at this code: markAsSeen({ sentTo: paPlayer!.id }); I believe it is because I am calling a hook inside another hook @alex / KATT

I gave up and ended up using a button instead, it solved my issue Seems like calling a hook inside another hook is what causes it
