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.
