About event actions
A publish template can specify an event action that is triggered when the publishing or republishing process is complete. An event action can:
- Send out an email to notify users that a publication is available.
- Write a log file to keep track of when, where and by whom publications are created.
- File a document in multiple folders when the document is published or republished.
An event action can also invoke another publication of a document. This is useful if, for example, you want to publish a Word document in PostScript®, but do not have a transformation plug-in to convert directly from Word to PostScript. However, you do have a plug-in that converts Word documents to PDF, and a plug-in that converts PDF documents to Postscript. In this situation, you could use an event action to convert the PDF to PostScript after the publish template initiated conversion from Word to PDF.
