The hooks are lisp code, the variables 'tag-changes' and 'query' are
available in the scope when those hooks are called (bound dynamically).

In your hook you can run shell command (if you wanted to run bash command

to see some samples how you'd do something like that run e.g. 
git grep shell-command  in notmuch source tree and examine found content...

in .emacs.d/notmuch-config.el
