Any chance on getting this added as a unRaid notification agent?

 

Got email today from Pushbullet telling me they will go to for pay only on August 1st. No sign on pricing so I am not waiting until the last minute. Started testing various others (Android, Windows 10, unRaid environment) and came across "Join by joaoapps".  http://joaoapps.com/join/

 

Tested using PlexPy and works as intended. In fact better on Windows 10 as it is integrated with native notifications. Lots o'docs on the API. Uses your Google Drive rather than their own servers. $4.99 for Android, $1.49 for W10.

One possibility for unraid would be to have a CUSTOM notification option. So in future rather than waiting until unraid adds the latest messaging platform a 'custom' notify client could be added.

 

Most of the notification tools I have dealt with have some form of http api (looks like join do too).

 

Currently unraid give notification inputs for:

- Token

- Title

- Message

 

These could remain in place and become some form of variable that is able to be inserted into and new input called 'custom url'

For a simple GET API input could look like this for example:

http://maynewfavorite.messagingclient.com/sendstuff?apikey###token###&title=###title###&message=###message###&device=iphone

Where the items encapsulated in the ### are the variables from the earlier inputs.

 

For a HTTP POST/PUT API it might be a little more complicated but not impossible.

- input for url

- input for message content

 

variables required for input:

- token (input)

- title (input)

- message (input)

- content length (calculated)

 

I assume that most of this is happening behind the scenes anyway.

Forgot to add that I currently use Pushover.

 

The issue I have is that unraid does not allow for the device parameter so the messages get sent to all my devices (not ideal). So a custom template would allow me access the other pushover options such as to add my own sound or limit devices. I am sure that most messaging/notifying tools have features that some would like to be able to enable/disable.
