Rich Notifications (Discord or Slack)

The following can be added to any of the above examples.

How it Works

Tautulli > Script Agent > Script > Tautulli > Webhook Agent > Discord/Slack

1. Tautulli's script agent is executed
2. Script executes
3. The script sends the JSON data to the webhook agent
4. Webhook agent passes the information to Discord/Slack

Limitations

• Due to size limitations by Slack. A thumbnail may not appear with every notification when using --posterUrl {poster_url}.
• allStreams will not have poster images in the notifications.

Required arguments

• Discord: --notify notifierID --richMessage discord
• Slack: --notify notifierID --richMessage slack

Note: The notifierID must be a Webhook in Tautulli

Optional arguments

--serverName {server_name} --plexUrl {plex_url} --posterUrl {poster_url} --richColor '#E5A00D'

Webhook Setup

1. Settings -> Notification Agents -> Add a new notification agent -> Webhook
2. For the Webhook URL enter your Slack or Discord webhook URL.
   Some examples:
   • Discord: Intro to Webhooks
   • Slack: Incoming Webhooks
3. Webhook Method - POST
4. No triggers or any other configuration is needed. The script will pass the notifier the data to send to Discord/Slack.

Debug

Add --debug to enable debug logging.

Conditions considerations

Kill transcode variants

All examples use [ Transcode Decision | is | transcode ] which will kill any variant of transcoding. If you want to allow audio or container transcoding and only drop video transcodes, your condition would change to

 `Video Decision` | `is` | `transcode`
