Apprise Notifications

The Apprise addon uses the Python Apprise library (https://github.com/caronc/apprise) to send out notifications of ARDI alerts.

This gives administrators a huge range of possible destinations for alerts and gives the ability to logging, recording and automated responses to alerts across a wide variety of platforms.

As well as simply being able to trigger calls to websites, apprise can send notifications to…

Teams
Google Chat
Slack
Facebook / X
SMS
Messaging Services

…and many more. See this page for the complete listing.

Setup

To send a notification, you'll need to create a apprise URL. This looks like a web URL, but usually doesn't contain a web address and instead gives the information needed to create a notification in the package of your choice.

For example, sending a notification to slack uses a URL like the one below…

slack://{botname}@{TokenA}/{TokenB}/{TokenC}/{Channel}

…where you substitute your unique bot name, tokens and channel ID in the spaces provided.

Alternatively, you could send an SMS using the online ClickSend service using…

clicksend://{user}:{pass}@{phone}

or to our preferred messaging system Signl4 using…

signl4://{webhook_id}
