Delayed notifications?

[McGuntr]

First of all, LOVE this script and the apprise notifications!

My suggestion... Like most, I have mine set to run in the middle of the night and get the apprise alerts right away. Since a snapraid sync failure doesn't exactly require me to jump out of bed at 3am to attend to, it would be nice if the notifications could be set to not send until later in the day. Like a "do not disturb" timeframe.

I know, I could set my phone to silent, or the app to do not disturb, but I need it on for other alerts that are time sensitive.

Additionally, receiving the alert when I am awake and paying attention will be more likely to be noticed.

You can send silent notifications using Apprise, but depends on the service. For example, if you're using Telegram, use the parameter silent, more info here.

I don't think I can implement a "send later" feature because the script terminates once the jobs are done, so I think this is the best we can get.

Thanks that makes sense.

Would it be possible to customize the message formats in the .conf file? I would like to add some of my own text, etc.

BTW, I am currently testing with Discord, Telegram, Pushover, Slack, and Signal and all are working great. Probably going to settle on Signal since it's the only one I use otherwise.

You can use "CUSTOM_HOOK" feature, that can be run before or after the actions. You can build a little script with your own information.

The information sent by the script can't be customised, unless you're willing to make changes to the script itself.

What information you would like to add?

Just little tweaks to the messaging, e.g.

The current message...
SnapRAID on Server
[COMPLETED] DIFF + SCRUB Jobs (SnapRAID on Server)
SUMMARY: Equal [199004] - Added [0] - Deleted [0] - Moved [0] - Copied [0] - Updated [0]
3:02 AM

I would like to change it to a more consise...
SnapRAID sync completed at 3:02 AM
E[199004] A[0] D[0] M[0] C[0] U[0]

If we had wild cards like %EQUAL%, etc. and an option to build our own message format in the .conf file it would be fantastic. I know I am really nit-picking here, but it is only because the rest of the script is just so good. ;)

Got it. I think you can try, since it's only a cosmetic change.
