Is there a way to automatically send an email when website gets published through VS2012

Question

I was wondering if there is a possibility to automatically send a notification once a new version of ASP.NET MVC site has been published through Visual Studio publish option. Maybe publishing profile can be edited somehow to add custom scripts? I cannot find a way.

I suggest doing your publishing via TFS Build, that way you can ensure that people aren't publishing code that you don't have in Source Control, and it's easy to setup email notification on Build Completion (using TFS Alerts).
