Can you provide more detail of what you are trying to do?

If you want to capture the details of a file when it is uploaded, you could create a trigger, e.g.

 

trigger t on FeedItem (before insert) {

    FeedItem[] contentFeeds;
    
    contentFeeds = 
	[SELECT ID, ContentFileName, Title, ContentSize, ContentType,
	CreatedById, CreatedBy.Name, CreatedDate,
	LastModifiedDate, RelatedRecordId,
	Type, ParentId, Parent.Name, Parent.Type
	FROM FeedItem
	WHERE ID IN :Trigger.new AND Type = 'ContentPost'];
    if (!contentFeeds.IsEmpty()) {
        // iterate all feed items and do something
        for (FeedItem fi: contentFeeds) {                                
             //do something           
        }
    }
}

Thanks for your help.

 

As we know documents / files can be present in chatter / account / opportunity etc in salesforce. I want to get a specific file / document programetically. For that I need to add a button / link which will trigger an action to get that file /document. I want to put the button / link beside the file / document.

 

For example:

Lets assume, a feedItem of type ContentPost is present in feed area. So, a file / document is present in that feed. I want to add a button / link beside that file / document. By clicking that button / link I will get the file / document so I can do the work with that file /document.

 

Please suggest.
