Notifications

Introduction

With v4.3.1, there is now notifications support. There are built-in notifications in the UI where you can interact with the alerts, and there's third party integrations. This wiki page primarily focuses on the latter.

Go to the Notifications tab in your settings to integrate with:

• Discord
• Slack
• Telegram
• Gotify
• ntfy
• Any service that supports custom webhooks! This includes Zapier and Automatisch

There are currently 3 types of notifications. Here they are and the type of data you'll get:

• Download complete
  • Included data: video title, original URL, new URL (on your instance), thumbnail
• Download error
  • Included data: error type, original URL
• Task finished
  • Included data: task title

You can disable or enable each type of notification to your choosing.

Telegram

For Telegram, you will need two things: a bot token and a chat ID

• To get a bot token, create a bot using BotFather
  • Type /newbot and follow the instructions
  • Copy the generated token into the Telegram bot token setting
• Get your chat ID using the get id bot
  • You can get your ID by typing /my_id

Gotify

Docs: https://gotify.net/

For Gotify you will need the server URL, as well as an app token. You can generate the app token from Gotify's web UI

ntfy

Docs: https://docs.ntfy.sh/

All you need is the topic URL!

You can test out the functionality by going to the demo site and creating a topic: https://ntfy.sh/app

Custom webhook

Paste the URL, which could be retrieved from a third party service like Zapier or Automatisch. Here's the format of the data you will get in the body of the POST:

{
    body: <general message>,
    title: <notification title>,
    type: <notification type>,
    url: <relevant url to your instance>,
    thumbnail: <video thumbnail if present>
}

Three notification types:

• download_complete
• download_error
• task_finished

Here's an example of a download error notification:

{
    body: "Error: exists_in_archive\nURL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example_id"
    title: "Download error"
    type: "download_error"
    url: "http://127.0.0.1:17442/#/downloads"
    thumbnail: null
}
