NOTMUCH-HOOKS(5)
NAME
notmuch-hooks - hooks for notmuch
SYNOPSIS
$DATABASEDIR/.notmuch/hooks/*
DESCRIPTION
Hooks are scripts (or arbitrary executables or symlinks to such) that
notmuch invokes before and after certain actions. These scripts reside
in the .notmuch/hooks directory within the database directory and must
have executable permissions.
The currently available hooks are described below.
pre-new
This hook is invoked by the new command before scanning or
importing new messages into the database. If this hook exits
with a non-zero status, notmuch will abort further processing
of the new command.
Typically this hook is used for fetching or delivering new
mail to be imported into the database.
post-new
This hook is invoked by the new command after new messages
have been imported into the database and initial tags have
been applied. The hook will not be run if there have been any
errors during the scan or import.
Typically this hook is used to perform additional query-based
tagging on the imported messages.
post-insert
This hook is invoked by the insert command after the message has
been delivered, added to the database, and initial tags have
been applied. The hook will not be run if there have been any
errors during the message delivery; what is regarded as succes‐
ful delivery depends on the --keep option.
Typically this hook is used to perform additional query-based
tagging on the delivered messages.
