Compliance-related Archiving of Chatter

Hello,

 

I know there are pre-built solutions out there for archiving chatter posts and comments for compliance reasons, but for cost reasons, my team needs to create our own.

 

I am thinking we could just write some triggers to email every post/comment to an internal email address, and use our existing email archiving/compliance solution (Smarsh, etc.) to track the content.

 

Any issues with that? Any better suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Erik

Your approach is certainly achievable, but it does put some overhead on performance. You might want to consider a scheduled apex job to 'sweep' the relevant objects every x mins/hours.
