Call a function inside class when unhide a Record in Typo3

Question

Is it possible somehow in Typo3 if a Backend User is unhiding a Record to call a php function inside a class?

In my Case: FE User is creating a Record hidden. If the Backend User checks this Record and unhide it to show it in frontend I need to send data to the CRM of my client via a class->function

Yes, it is possible, but you need to write an extension (probably you're writing some right now)

You need to use some TCE hooks ie.

processDatamap_preProcessFieldArray(array &$incomingFieldArray, $table, $id, t3lib_TCEmain &$reference)

or

processDatamap_afterDatabaseOperations($status, $table, $id, $fieldArray, &$reference)

Here is some article about hooks usage. If you have TemplaVoila installed, you can also check how they are implementing the hooks - /typo3conf/ext/templavoila/class.tx_templavoila_tcemain.php and /typo3conf/ext/templavoila/ext_localconf.php
