Hi all.
Been searching for a while and still can’t find anything on this.
Looking for a way to broadcast notifications of new media to a whatsapp group, which I use for requests and new media. It just me, kids and friends (10 users).
Not all have Discord, so that option is out (however well documented).
Anyone seen anything on this?
Greatly appreciated.
Side note; Been running my server for around 5 months. Have all the usuall plugins installed, custom branding, LiveTV through an iptv service, schedule, recordings etc etc. Absolutely loving it. It’s just perfect. It’s grown rapidly. Over 160 Movies and 90 odd TV Shows and counting. I’ve already bought two extra HDD’s to accommodate. It literally never fails. Any client, flawless, even on the fixed tablet in the car. Now if only I could get notifications via WhatApp to save me doing this manually with every new episode/film. Complete automation is the goal.
Edit: my bad spelling.
Appreciate the reply. Yes. Its on the list for automated request/download. Was holding out for a WhatsApp option first, but as that seems impossible, I’ll be going down the sonarr/radarr route now.
Thanks.
My follow up was - sonarr and radarr have a lot of integrations. Unsure of whatsapp specifically but Ive used a discord bot with mine to do what you are describing.
*arr does the organisation of media etc, it knows when things are finished and available. It then notifies clients - jellyfin, and then any chat clients it has integration for (couldnt find anything relating to whatsapp however)
I had considered going down the road of Notification listener (windows toast notifications). Sanitise the output and pipe into pywhatkit to generate a Whatsapp group post.
Scrub that. Someone just bought to my attention building a WhatsApp bot in Node Red. I can then use the webhook notifier in Jellyfin to send events to it.
