Schedule Gotify notifications

Send messages to your self-hosted Gotify server on a schedule: backup reports, reminders, and alerts with a title and priority.

#Example: a nightly backup report

{
  "name": "Backup report",
  "cron": { "expression": "15 4 * * *", "time_zone": "Europe/Berlin" },
  "nodes": [
    { "id": "status", "request": { "method": "GET", "endpoint": "https://backup.example.com/api/last-run", "credential_id": "YOUR_BACKUP_TOKEN_ID" } },
    { "id": "push", "gotify_send_message": {
        "credential_id": "YOUR_GOTIFY_APP_ID",
        "title": "Backup {{ $.status }}",
        "message": "{{ $.files }} files, {{ $.size_gb }} GB in {{ $.minutes }} min",
        "priority": 5 } }
  ]
}

#Set up

In Gotify, create an application and copy its token. Save your server URL and the token as a gotify credential. Your server must be reachable from the internet over HTTPS.

#Reference
