Hi @Tommy,

You might write a script which will run locally on your system and check count of the files into the folder and send the notification if the count has been increased by one.

 Note: when  ever the new file is detected, then you will need to update the count for the files in script, therefore I would suggest you to write this variable in the registry or in some other location, so your script can read it before the next execution.

but here i cant add any special mail adress with would be great ex as for my boss

Hi,

This option will work for you if you know the name for the file which will be created.

[Tommy]

Hi,

Unfortunately it is not so simple. Emails are sent by the Pulseway server, therefore all this information needs to be sent back to the Pulseway server and then server should know how to handle these addition email addresses if added. This would require some development to be done. I will put this forward as the feature request, therefore we will consider the possibility to introduce this functionality into the future release.

Also, this functionality currently is requested only by you.

ok Thanks Chris!
