[Feat] Notification on page change about changedetection.io HOT 14 CLOSED

I was thinking a good start can be just a callout to an API ? then you can plug in your own mechanism.

I'de rather not launch many unpredictable shell processes :) it's sort of the same effort to write something nicer.

In the README.md atm

On change detection, callout to another API (handy for notices/issue trackers)

So perhaps something like..

thoughts? and ofcourse.. the call-outs should go into a log file

@typkrft thanks for the constructive comment! yeah I think this could be the way to go.. I really didnt want to end up with 1000 support issues on the project of people complaining about some email bug or whatever.. but also on the other hand I'm trying to live my life without being addicted to (living re-actively) to notifications, although I do understand that some people may find it important for their particular use case

@svzi probably we'll go with this apprise project I think

@dgtlmoon Any update on this topic? A notification via webhook would be truly awesome and really helpful. As already discussed in other issues here, some of us want to be notified about changes as soon as possible, without the need to check the dashboard of this awesome project.

Webhooks would provide a lot of flexibilty in terms of notifications. I think it would be a great starting point! 👍

@typkrft thanks for the tip, a new 0.30 release is out! @svzi

I would in any case appreciate it if you could be informed by smtp e-mail about changes, or telegram. otherwise you cannot act immediately if there is a change on a certain website ...

Apprise is a great notification project. Something that could tie into this would be ideal imo. "On Change" execute let the user define the script to run and give some variables. Obviously some people wouldn't want a second dependency, but it would keep things lean or could work at least interim. Great app btw!

Maybe some option like 'filter by tag' too

from changedetection.io.

This looks great!
I can see how I could plug this with gotify.
But for other notification channels, I have no experience. Nevertheless, it's a good starting point.

@pchampio #8 - i think browser push notifications would be even better, and mean for most people they dont need to push a notification into some other service... which is probably also web based..

from changedetection.io.

Any progress on this? Maybe a way to curl a webhook on change?

this code does much the same thing, maybe you could use some of that? Look at the notify options

from changedetection.io.

I was thinking to make the notifications as a group, then you assign each tag or individual entry to that group, could be better for organising your alerts

from changedetection.io.

@dgtlmoon @typkrft Great idea! I love the ability to include my own webhooks with Apprise as well. Very neat! 👏

from changedetection.io.

Another good function is to be able to send a single alert with a collection of changes, Apprise requires a "title" and "body", so each change should be (by configuration/preference) listed in the "body".

Perhaps every x minutes collate a list of whats changed and send it as a single notification
