Send email when asset inserted

sleah

Is there a way to create an insertion task that would send an email when an item is uploaded? The thought is that the user would insert the item via the web client and an email would automatically be sent to a specific person informing them that the item has been uploaded, with a link to the item(s).

Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately there is no way n the server. It should, however, be possible to write a custom application in a number of ways. Off the top of my head:

1) Customize the web code to send an email as part of the insertion.

2) Write a standalone service that listens for events on a given container and sends out notifications when necessary.

3) Write a standalone app that caches the list of assets in a container and periodically polls and sends an email when something different is encountered.
