Logic Hooks / System Events
The Logic Hook framework allows you to append actions to system events such as when creating, editing, and deleting records. Logic hook definitions can pertain to a specific module or to the entire application. Either way, you must decide if the logic hook definition will be implemented as an extension of or directly to the module or application.
- Module Extension Hooks allow a developer to define hook actions that will be executed for the specified events in a given module
- Application Extension Hooks allow a developer to define hook actions that will be executed for all specified application-level events using the extension framework
- Web Logic Hooks Web logic hooks let administrators post record and event information to a specified URL when certain sugar events take place
