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…

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

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}
