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 succesful delivery depends on the --keep
              option.

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