Auto mail sender if new file is added in database

You can use a combination of technologies to achieve this. Here's a high-level overview of the steps:

  1. Database trigger: Create a trigger in your database that fires whenever a new file is added to the database. The trigger can be written in the database's specific programming language (e.g., SQL, PL/pgSQL, etc.).
  2. Scripting language: Choose a scripting language (e.g., Python, Node.js, etc.) to write a script that will be executed when the trigger fires. This script will send the email.
  3. Email library: Use an email library (e.g., Python's smtplib, Node.js's nodemailer, etc.) to send the email.

Here's an example of how you could implement this using Python and PostgreSQL:

Database trigger (PostgreSQL)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION send_email()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
    -- Get the new file's path and name
    NEW_FILE_PATH = NEW.file_path;
    NEW_FILE_NAME = NEW.file_name;

    -- Execute the Python script
    EXECUTE 'python /path/to/script.py ' || NEW_FILE_PATH || ' ' || NEW_FILE_NAME;

    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

CREATE TRIGGER send_email_trigger
AFTER INSERT ON files
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE send_email();

Python script

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

def send_email(file_path, file_name):
    # Set up email server
    server = smtplib.SMTP('your_email_server')
    server.starttls()
    server.login('your_email_username', 'your_email_password')

    # Create email message
    msg = MIMEText('New file added: ' + file_name)
    msg['Subject'] = 'New file added'
    msg['From'] = 'your_email_username'
    msg['To'] = 'recipient_email'

    # Send email
    server.sendmail('your_email_username', 'recipient_email', msg.as_string())
    server.quit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    file_path = sys.argv[1]
    file_name = sys.argv[2]
    send_email(file_path, file_name)

In this example, the database trigger fires whenever a new file is added to the files table. The trigger executes the Python script, passing the new file's path and name as arguments. The Python script sets up an email server, creates an email message, and sends the email to the specified recipient.

Note that you'll need to modify the script to fit your specific email server and email settings. Additionally, you may want to add error handling and logging to the script to ensure that it runs smoothly and reliably.
