Detect if a file has been uploaded?

[dmeyer]

Hello,

Is there a way to detect if a file has been uploaded to a Web Viewer Supercontainer field? Or have Supercontainer set another flag to "yes" upon upload?

I'd like to notify particular users via email when a document is uploaded.

Thanks

The best way to do this would be to use the SuperContainer Companion plugin in your database. You can call the SCGetInfo function to get the information about the file stored at a SuperContainer URL. If the URL returns a filename, date, and size you will know that a file is stored at that location.

Another way to do this would be to use the SC Companion plugin to script your file uploads. You can use the SCSetConainer function to script a file upload to SuperContainer, which would then also allow you to script sending out an email at the same time that the file is uploaded.
