Media/Document Notifier

Media/Document Notifier emails selected recipients when a file with a configured extension becomes permanent. Use it to notify a team when a document or media upload has been saved.

Features

• Filter notifications by file extension.
• Configure up to 50 recipient addresses, an email subject, and a plain-text message.
• Notify when a file is created as permanent or changes from temporary to permanent. Abandoned uploads and later saves of the same permanent file do not send another notification.
• Preserve the original case of recipient addresses and remove exact duplicates.
• Restrict configuration to trusted administrators through the administer media document notifier permission.

Installation and configuration

Install with composer require 'drupal/medianotify:^1.0', then enable custom_email_notify. The Drupal File and Media modules are required.

Open Configuration > System > Media/Document Notifier. Enter extensions without dots, comma-separated recipient addresses, the subject, and message. No mail is sent until recipients have been configured.

Message placeholders and file access

[file_url] inserts the absolute file URL. [current-username] inserts the file owner's account name, not necessarily the signed-in user's name. These are literal placeholders provided by this module, not Drupal Token API tokens.

A notification does not grant access to a private file. Recipients must have an account with permission to download it. Files are linked, not attached.

Requirements

Requires Drupal ^10.6 || ^11.3. Use a security-supported core release. The current release has been tested on Drupal 10.6, 11.3, and 11.4.
