How to trigger a script when saving an entity

[mliebherr99]

ok, so i created: custom/Espo/Custom/Hooks/Connection/MyHook.php

With the code example from https://docs.espocrm.com/development/hooks/

=> tha gives me "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or"..

So i changed the code from:

  public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options): void 

to:

   public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options) 

Now i get:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Espo\Custom\Hooks\Connection\MyHook::getDependency List() in /data/webs/test_espocrm/webroot/application/Espo/Core/HookManager.php on line 128

My Hook looks like:

<?php
namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\Connection;

use Espo\ORM\Entity;

class MyHook
{
// optional parameter, defines in which order hooks will be processed
// less value means sooner
public static $order = 5;

public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options)
{
}

}


?>

I am using EspoCRM Version 5.5.6

Any hints?

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Create afterSave hook https://docs.espocrm.com/development/hooks/

Or utilize formula https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/formula/

Hello,

we manage some customer connections in espo with an entity. Looks like: https://espocrm.foo.bar/#Connection/...35f62c14c2a9dc

How can i trigger a script when adding/changing an entity?

Cheers,
