You can do this in different ways, for example you can extend Alfresco adding your own custom actions.

A custom action in Alfresco can be implemented in Java and you can add your Spring beans for reading contents from different sources and using the Alfresco API you can store/update contents in the repository using as a source an external database.

https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Actions

Using the ActionService you can execute the specific action. The ActionService is one of the services exposed by the Alfresco Foundation API.

Another possible solution is to implement a behavior related to specific contents that have an aspect.
An aspect in Alfresco is a tag that allows you to decorate contents adding properties, associations and behaviors (Java trigger).

Adding a behavior means that you can implement a Java class that implements all the events that you want to extend in Alfresco (addNode, removeNode, readContent, updateContent, etc…):

Finally another possible solution is to implement a ScheduledAction:

Hope this helps.
