Notification Level for Check In only

[spacezorro]

Description

I want to send all notifications to Email but have successful/failed checkins only go to SMS

Where 1 is everything, 2 is successful checkins/errors, and 3 is errors only I want to do { "notification_level": 1, "notification_urls": "mailtos://ALLthestuffgoeshere", "accounts": [ { "username": "1234567", "password": "hunter2", "notification_level": 2, "notification_urls": "sns://gobbledegook/us-west-1/+15555551212" }, { "username": "7654321", "password": "hunter2", "notification_level": 2, "notification_urls": "sns://gobbledegook/us-west-1/+15555552222" }

etc...

That way it keeps the SMS to a minimum instead of SMS bombing someone when the server/docker restarts

What alternatives have you considered?

Yes, this is a good feature to add. I’ll add it in the same release as the notifications I explained in #249 which will be by next release.

If you're considering updating notifications, can you make the notification_level and url paired? For example: { "username": "7654321", "password": "hunter2", "notifications": [ { "notification_level": 1, "notification_urls": "sns://gobbledegook/us-west-1/+15555551111"}, // admin number / notification { "notification_level": 4, "notification_urls": "sns://gobbledegook/us-west-1/+15555554444"} // family number / notification ] }

I partly misunderstood the original feature request. I believe this is also what @spacezorro is requesting (there are 2 feature requests). I've reverted the changes done in #281 relating to this feature so this could be discussed further.

With the configuration provided by spacezorro, the account notification level would actually override the global level, meaning even the email notifications would be sent only error messages.

Here's what I'm thinking for how this will be specified for the config file. I don't want it to be too complicated either, so let me know what you guys think.

{
    "notifications": [{"url": "smtp://email"}],
    "accounts": [
        {"username": "...", "password": "...", "notifications": [
            {"url": "sms://text", "level": 2}, 
            {"url": "discord://channel"}
        ]},
        {"username": "...", "password": "..."}
    ]
}

For account 1, there would be notifications sent to three places (the levels will be based off of v7.5, not #281):

• Email with level 1, SMS with level 2, and Discord with level 1

For account 2:

• Email with level 1

Any level not specified will default to the current default notification level. If the same URL exists in both the account-specific and global notifications, the account-specific level will override the global level.

That's perfect. I run the script for family and my wife/kids only want checkin messages. They don't care about the scheduling or fare checking... But I do so your most recent example is exactly what I was going for.

Does there need to be more levels for "checkin success/fail only"?

Yes, I’ll add that as well. I’ll make a separate PR to add both this and the new config format.
