Trigv Notifications

Overview

To use this plugin you need a Trigv workspace and an ingest API key.

  1. Sign in to your Trigv workspace.
  2. Under workspace settings, generate an ingest API key. It looks like trgv_AbCdEfGh_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef.
  3. Decide which channel slug(s) you want alerts delivered to. If you don’t specify one, alerts go to the general channel.

Valid syntax is as follows:

  • trigvs://{api_key}
  • trigvs://{api_key}/{channel}

Multiple channels can be notified in a single call by separating them with a slash:

  • trigvs://{api_key}/{channel1}/{channel2}

If you’re running your own self-hosted Trigv ingest gateway, you can point Apprise at it directly, with an optional port:

  • trigv://{api_key}@{hostname}/{channel}
  • trigvs://{api_key}@{hostname}:{port}/{channel}

trigv:// talks to your hostname over plain HTTP; trigvs:// (the default when no hostname is supplied) always uses HTTPS.

VariableRequiredDescription
api_keyYesYour Trigv workspace ingest API key.
channelNoOne or more channel slugs to deliver to (separate multiple channels with a / in the URL path). Defaults to general when none is supplied.
toNoA comma-separated list of additional channel slugs to notify, supplied as a ?to= query argument.
urlNoA supplemental URL to attach to the alert (e.g. a link to a dashboard or run).
image_urlNoA publicly reachable image URL to display alongside the alert.
urgencyNoForce the delivery urgency to either standard or time_sensitive. When omitted, failures are automatically escalated to time_sensitive.
event_typeNoA free-form event type label attached to the alert (e.g. backup.failed).
priorityNoA Pushover-style priority. Any value of 1 or higher is treated the same as ?urgency=time_sensitive.
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.
redirectBy default, Apprise will follow HTTP redirects (3xx responses) issued by the remote server, matching the behaviour of the underlying requests library. If you want to prevent custom headers and credentials from being forwarded to destinations that differ from the original URL, set this 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.
retryThe number of additional delivery attempts to make after the first failure before giving up. Accepts an integer in the range 0 to 10. The default is 0 (no retries — a single attempt is made). When combined with wait, Apprise pauses the specified number of seconds between each attempt.
waitThe number of seconds to pause between retry attempts. Accepts a decimal value in the range 0.0 to 20.0; integer values are promoted to float automatically. The default is 0.5. This value is only meaningful when retry is greater than zero — a service with retry=0 makes exactly one attempt regardless of the wait value.
optionalWhen set to yes, a delivery failure for this service is silently absorbed. The overall notify() call still returns True even if this endpoint was unreachable, provided that every required (non-optional) service in the same batch succeeded. Setting this flag does not skip delivery or bypass retry logic — all configured retry attempts are still made before the failure is absorbed. By default this is set to no, meaning every failure is propagated to the caller.

Send a simple alert to the default channel:

Terminal window
apprise -vv -t "Cron" -b "Backup failed" \
"trigvs://trgv_AbCdEfGh_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"

Send to a specific channel with a supplemental link:

Terminal window
apprise -vv -t "Deploy complete" -b "v2.4.1 shipped to prod" \
"trigvs://trgv_AbCdEfGh_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef/deploys/?url=https://ci.example.com/runs/42"

Notify multiple channels at once:

Terminal window
apprise -vv -t "Disk almost full" -b "/var is at 95%" \
"trigvs://trgv_AbCdEfGh_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef/ops/oncall"

Force time-sensitive delivery:

Terminal window
apprise -vv -t "Disk almost full" -b "/var is at 95%" \
"trigvs://trgv_AbCdEfGh_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef/?urgency=time_sensitive"

Talk to a self-hosted ingest gateway on a custom port instead of api.trigv.com:

Terminal window
apprise -vv -t "Test" -b "Hello from a local gateway" \
"trigv://trgv_AbCdEfGh_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef@trigv.internal.example.com:8080/general"
