Sample Code: Message Received Notification sample-code-message-received-notification
The Social Messaging feature throw events for operations, for example send, marking read, marking delete. These events can be caught and actions taken on the data contained in the event.
The following example is of an event handler which listens for the message sent event and sends an email to all message recipients using the Day CQ Mail Service.
To try the server-side sample script, you will need a development environment and the ability to build an OSGi bundle.
