NAME

       notmuch-hooks - hooks for notmuch

SYNOPSIS

       <hook_dir>/{pre-new, post-new, post-insert}

DESCRIPTION

       Hooks  are  scripts  (or  arbitrary  executables or symlinks to such) that notmuch invokes
       before and after certain actions. These scripts reside in a directory defined as described
       in notmuch-config. They must have executable permissions.

       The currently available hooks are described below.

       pre-new
              This  hook  is  invoked by the notmuch-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 notmuch-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 notmuch-new command after any 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  notmuch-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 successful delivery depends on the --keep option.

              Typically this hook is used  to  perform  additional  query-based  tagging  on  the
              delivered messages.
