Workflow on Attachments

Hi,

Is there any way to know if an attachment is added in salesforce? I am creatin an application to process cases and its attchemnt created/updated in salesforce. We are using outbound messaging to know whenever a new case is created/updated but we cant create an outbound message when an attahcment is added to a case.

Can anyone suggest a way to let my application know when an attachment is added to the case.

Thanks

I'm looking for this as well. Then we could add a validation rule that says that if an attachment is attached to an object, the user must select a picklist value indicating what the attachment is. Then we could also report on it.

We have a requirement to send emails whenever a new attachment is added to the case. But workflows cant do this and trigger doesnt work on Attachment object Insert event. Any other solution?

From this discussion, it appears that Workflow cannot be used on the Attachment object:

Will check with SFDC Support to see what they think.
