mattermost-notify

Send notifications using a Bot account from your applications to Mattermost. Simple, fast, easy to set up. No fuzz, just works...

Installation

First make sure to set up a Bot account on your Mattermost Server with the name notify. Follow the Documentation to learn how.

If you have your notifyBot account set up correctly and you have got it's access token you can install the client package using:

# (yep it's in reverse since another project already used the name on PyPi 😅)
pip install notify-mattermost

Then set up the connection using:

# follow the dialog...
mattermost-notify setup

Now you can test your connection by sending a dummy message to your own user account by doing:

mattermost-notify send "my first message" --user your-username

If you set up everything correctly you should have received a message at this point!

Quick Example from Python

The Python API is very straightforward to use. A quick example (after having set up everything at installation) would look like this:

import mattermost_notify as notify

# initialze the connection
notify.wakeup()

# send a message to a channel
notify.notify("This is a test message", channel_name="some_channel")

# you can also upload files in this way
notify.notify("My latest log file", user="your_username", files=["my_pipeline/log.txt"])
