Can you add a workflow that will trigger a custom php file?
April 23, 2010, 01:50:38 pm
Is it possible to create what I call a Workflow that will call a custom php file? For example, whenever a new contact is added have that trigger my custom turnonlightsinlivingroom.php file?

Thanks

I have a working example as a Drupal module, and I will post the code in the next day or two.

Others may be interested in this thread as well if wondering about components instead of modules.

Ok, as promised I have created a short Drupal module... took me more than a few days to post it though!

This module will send you an email whenever you Add, Edit or Delete and INDIVIDUAL contact.

I have posted it here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmpost

Its under the Example for the hook_civicrm_post.

Note that the above link is for the UPCOMING docs for v3.2 so once 3.2 is released it will become this:
