Attachment Policies

Attachment policies provide places where you can hook in behaviors that trigger when attachments are read, created, updated or deleted against a node.

Unlike other policy handlers, these will only fire at the instance when an attachment is created, updated, or deleted, and will not fire upon a branch merge or release.

When configuring your attachments, you can specify an attachment ID you wish to fire your policy. For example, suppose you are configuring a webhook rule that you only want to fire when the default attahchment is updated. In this case, you can specify the "default" key for your attachment policy to have it only fire for default, and not some other attachment id. If you do not specify an attachment ID, the rule will fire for all attachent ids, except for those beginning with _preview_, which we exclude since these are system generated attachments.

The following policies are available:
