Rule to alert folder owner(s) incase someone tries to access the folder

[EjikeAlfie]

Good day everyone,

Is it possible to create a rule that sends an email to the owner(s) of a folder in the event someone opens the folder?

If it is, how do I go about creating such a rule, or where do I create such a rule in Alfresco?

I would be grateful if someone could assist me with this.

Folder Rules are triggered when a node is created, modified or deleted, so you can't use them.

If you want, you can create a Behavior registering onContentRead policy, see docs. Please be aware that your code will be executed every time a node is read, so will for sure affect performances.

Best regards.
