Schedule ntfy push notifications

Publish push notifications to an ntfy topic on a schedule. Every phone and desktop subscribed to the topic gets it, on ntfy.sh or your own server, with a title, priority, tags, and a link to open.

Example: a daily reminder on your phone

json

{
  "name": "Water the plants",
  "cron": { "expression": "0 19 * * SUN,WED", "time_zone": "Europe/Amsterdam" },
  "nodes": [
    { "id": "push", "ntfy_publish": {
        "topic": "home-k7f2q9",
        "title": "Plants",
        "message": "Time to water the plants 🌱",
        "tags": ["seedling"],
        "priority": 3 } }
  ]
}

Example: NAS disk usage, every 6 hours, on your own server

Read a value from any API and push it to a protected topic on a self-hosted ntfy server:

json

{
  "name": "Disk usage to phone",
  "cron": { "expression": "0 */6 * * *" },
  "nodes": [
    { "id": "disk", "request": { "method": "GET", "endpoint": "https://nas.example.com/api/disk", "credential_id": "YOUR_NAS_TOKEN_ID" } },
    { "id": "push", "ntfy_publish": {
        "server": "https://ntfy.example.com",
        "topic": "nas",
        "title": "NAS disk",
        "message": "{{ $.used_percent }}% used, {{ $.free_gb }} GB free",
        "click": "https://nas.example.com",
        "credential_id": "YOUR_NTFY_TOKEN_ID" } }
  ]
}

Set up

Install the ntfy app and subscribe to a topic. Topics on ntfy.sh are public to anyone who knows the name, so use a hard-to-guess one, or protect it with an access token and save that as a bearer_token credential.

Reference

Publish an ntfy notification: `ntfy_publish`

Sends POST to the ntfy server (default https://ntfy.sh) with the topic and message as JSON. Output for the next step: The published message.

Field	Type	Notes
`server`	string	Your ntfy server. Omit for `https://ntfy.sh`.
`topic`	string, required	Letters, digits, `_` and `-`, up to 64 characters. Anyone who knows a public topic can read it, so pick a hard-to-guess name.

`title`	string	Up to 256 characters. Placeholders allowed.
`priority`	integer	1 (min) to 5 (urgent). Omit for the default, 3.
