You need to have access to store or at least its dispatch method to do this. Without that here are two options I can suggest: the easy one is redux-thunk, and more powerful one is redux-saga.
How did you import your store?
I use the createStore method and in index.js I have
const store = configureStore(); [file with createStore]
And I've seen on stackOverflow it's bad practice to export it from there.

Sorry for the silence I don't use this social network much.
I usually create a file configureStore.ts where I export same name function. I use this function both on the client and the server passing default state to it if needed.
