POST Request

POST /srv.asmx/AddUserToFolderSubscribers HTTP/1.1
Host: yourserver
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

authenticationTicket=3f7a1b2c-4d5e-6f7a-8b9c-0d1e2f3a4b5c&FolderPath=/Finance/Reports&UserName=jdoe&ON_READ=false&ON_CHANGE=false&ON_UPDATE=true&ON_CHECKOUT=false&ON_APPROVE=false&ON_REJECT=false&ON_COMMENT=false&ON_MOVE=false&ON_DELETE=false&ON_CHECKIN=false&ON_NEWDOC=true&IncludeSubObjects=true

Notes

  • ON_NEWDOC is unique to folder subscriptions and fires when a document is added to the subscribed folder.
  • When IncludeSubObjects = true, the subscription is applied to all subfolders recursively at the time of the call. New subfolders created later do not automatically inherit the subscription.
  • If the user is already subscribed to the folder, the existing subscription is replaced with the new event flags.
  • At least one event flag should be set to true.
  • To subscribe a user group instead of a single user, use AddUsergroupToFolderSubscribers.
  • To subscribe to a single document, use AddUserToDocumentSubscribers.
