Ryver Notifications

Overview

  • Source: https://ryver.com/
  • Image Support: Yes
  • Attachment Support: No
  • Message Character Limits:
    • Body: 1000

To use Ryver you’ll need to have the forum(s) you intend to notify already pre-created. You’ll need to do this before you follow the next set of instructions.

Next you need to define a new webhook and get the corresponding URL. This is done through:

  1. click on the Integrations > Incoming Webhooks beneath your settings on the left
  2. click on the Create Webhook button
  3. choose either Slack or Plain/text Ryver as this plugin currently supports both.
  4. Regardless of what webhook type you choose to create (Slack or Ryver), the next steps are still the same:
    • Set the webhook type to Chat Message
    • Select the forum(s) you already have set up to allow this webhook to access.
    • Click next.

When you’ve completed this process you will receive a URL that looks something like this: https://apprise.ryver.com/application/webhook/ckhrjW8w672m6HG

This effectively equates to:
https://{organization}.ryver.com/application/webhook/{token}

Note: Apprise supports this URL as-is (as of v0.7.7); you no longer need to parse the URL any further. However there is slightly less overhead (internally) if you do.

The last part of the URL you’re given is the token we’re most interested in. With respect to the above example:

  • the token is ckhrjW8w672m6HG
  • the organization is apprise

Valid syntax is as follows:

  • https://{organization}.ryver.com/application/webhook/{token}
  • ryver://{organization}/{token}/
  • ryver://{botname}@{organization}/{token}/
  • ryver://{organization}/{token}/?webhook=slack
VariableRequiredDescription
organizationYesThe organization you created your webhook under.
tokenYesThe token provided to you after creating a incoming-webhook
botnameNoSet the display name the message should appear from.
webhookNoThe type of webhook you created (Slack or Ryver). The only possible values are slack and ryver. The default value is ryver if the webhook value isn’t specified.
VariableDescription
overflowThis parameter can be set to either split, truncate, or upstream. This determines how Apprise delivers the message you pass it. By default this is set to upstream
👉 upstream: Do nothing at all; pass the message exactly as you received it to the service.
👉 truncate: Ensure that the message will fit within the service’s documented upstream message limit. If more information was passed then the defined limit, the overhead information is truncated.
👉 split: similar to truncate except if the message doesn’t fit within the service’s documented upstream message limit, it is split into smaller chunks and they are all delivered sequentially there-after.
formatThis parameter can be set to either text, html, or markdown. Some services support the ability to post content by several different means. The default of this varies (it can be one of the 3 mentioned at any time depending on which service you choose). You can optionally force this setting to stray from the defaults if you wish. If the service doesn’t support different types of transmission formats, then this field is ignored.
verifyExternal requests made to secure locations (such as through the use of https) will have certificates associated with them. By default, Apprise will verify that these certificates are valid; if they are not then no notification will be sent to the source. In some occasions, a user might not have a certificate authority to verify the key against or they trust the source; in this case you will want to set this flag to no. By default it is set to yes.
ctoThis stands for Socket Connect Timeout. This is the number of seconds Requests will wait for your client to establish a connection to a remote machine (corresponding to the connect()) call on the socket. The default value is 4.0 seconds.
rtoThis stands for Socket Read Timeout. This is the number of seconds the client will wait for the server to send a response. The default value is 4.0 seconds.
emojisEnable Emoji support (such as providing :+1: would translate to 👍). By default this is set to no.
Note: Depending on server side settings, the administrator has the power to disable emoji support at a global level; but default this is not the case.
tzIdentify the IANA Time Zone Database you wish to operate as. By default this is detected based on the configuration the server hosting Apprise is running on. You can set this to things like America/Toronto, or any other properly formated Timezone describing your area.
