Dropbox email Wed Nov 12, 2014 9:17 am • by chrisking
Hi. Is it possible that Hazel could email someone when I add a file to a shared dropbox folder. I don't want Hazel to email the file, but just inform someone that I have added the file.

Even better if it were able to say the file name or folder name, but that's not essential.

I understand that this will require a script, and I know where the script should go, but I wouldn't know how to write the script.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you
chrisking

You might want to look into using Automator instead if you don't know how to write scripts. I believe there is an email action there which should do the trick.

Thank you! Just had a look. Seems more confusing than Hazel.

Do you happen to know where I could find instructions to do that?

Thanks for your help.


Regards
Chris

Search the forums here or do a Google search. There should be some examples of it out there.
