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.
