Hello, I can’t figure out if my event is firing or not. I have created “file create” as admin once, that it then outputs “okay event, there is new file”, but my debugger shows nothing.  
How can I have the result show me if I want to be informed as admin. The goal is, for example, that only when an admin creates a new file in a folder, that only another admin is informed via notification/email that a new file has been created. [later I want to insert other events, but not even file create works currently]

please help. Thanks

Register a dummy listener that adds a log entry

By adding a log entry upon all events, you see **if** an event has been fired. Then, you know you have integrated this part successfully. In your handler, you can use the notification system ([1](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/developer_manual/digging_deeper/notifications.html), [2](https://github.com/nextcloud/notifications#developers)) to send notifications.

You will have to get a list of all users interested in the notification and add notifications for all but this is just a simple loop over the user names.

Does this clear out your question?
