How to execute custom Alfresco script on saving document opened via WebDAV or CIFS?

Question

I want to open an Excel file to edit offline via WebDAV or CIFS and run my script at the Alfresco side to parse the content of the file when user saves a workbook.

Is it possible? How can I do this?

Answer 1

Use a content rule for inbound/updated documents. This way, regardless of which interface the user leverages to access documents (HTTP/WebDAV/CIFS/FTP) the rule will be triggered, and you can set it to "Execute Script" as an outcome.
