attachmentAV for Salesforce: Developer

You can integrate attachmentAV for Salesforce into your custom processes to scan files on-demand or process scan results with custom logic.

Submit file scans on-demand (#)

For ContentVersion, use the following Apex code:

new attachmentAV.AttachmentAVScanner().submitContentVersionScan(contentVersionId);

For Attachment, use the following Apex code:

new attachmentAV.AttachmentAVScanner().submitAttachmentScan(attachmentId);

What is happening under the hood:

1. The logic submits the ContentVersion/Attachment for scanning.
2. The scan is happening asynchronously. When the scan is completed, the attachmentAV__ScanResult__c record linked to the Attachment/ContentVersion object is updated with the scan result.
3. Scanning mitigation actions and notifications are executed.

If any error occurs, it will be logged in the attachmentAV__ScanResult__c.ProcessingError__c field and the status of the attachmentAV__ScanResult__c will be changed to Failed. attachmentAV__ScanResult__c records are linked to ContentVersion objects indirectly via the attachmentAV__ContentDocumentId__c field and to Attachments via the attachmentav__AttachmentId__c field.

Additionally, there is a field ContentVersion.attachmentAV__ScanResult__c on the ContentVersion object which points to the scan result.

Receive scan results (#)

Scan results are published as platform events. See Publish platform event for details.
