Gotify Notification Skill

Send push notifications to your Gotify server when long-running tasks complete or important events occur.

Purpose

This skill enables Clawdbot to send push notifications via Gotify, useful for:

Alerting when long-running tasks complete
Sending status updates for background operations
Notifying of important events or errors
Integration with task completion hooks

Setup

Create the credentials file: ~/.clawdbot/credentials/gotify/config.json

{
  "url": "https://gotify.example.com",
  "token": "YOUR_APP_TOKEN"
}

url: Your Gotify server URL (no trailing slash)
token: Application token from Gotify (Settings → Apps → Create Application)

Usage

Basic Notification

bash scripts/send.sh "Task completed successfully"

With Title

bash scripts/send.sh --title "Build Complete" --message "skill-sync tests passed"

With Priority (0-10)

bash scripts/send.sh -t "Critical Alert" -m "Service down" -p 10

Markdown Support

bash scripts/send.sh --title "Deploy Summary" --markdown --message "

## Deployment Complete

- **Status**: ✅ Success

- **Duration**: 2m 34s

- **Commits**: 5 new
"

Integration with Task Completion

Option 1: Direct Call After Task


# Run long task
./deploy.sh && bash ~/clawd/skills/gotify/scripts/send.sh "Deploy finished"

Option 2: Hook Integration (Future)

When Clawdbot supports task completion hooks, this skill can be triggered automatically:


# Example hook configuration (conceptual)
{
  "on": "task_complete",
  "run": "bash ~/clawd/skills/gotify/scripts/send.sh 'Task: {{task_name}} completed in {{duration}}'"
}

Parameters

-m, --message <text>: Notification message (required)
-t, --title <text>: Notification title (optional)
-p, --priority <0-10>: Priority level (default: 5)
- 0-3: Low priority
- 4-7: Normal priority
- 8-10: High priority (may trigger sound/vibration)
--markdown: Enable markdown formatting in message

Examples

Notify when subagent finishes


# After spawning subagent
sessions_spawn --task "Research topic" --label my-research

# ... wait for completion ...
bash scripts/send.sh -t "Research Complete" -m "Check session: my-research"

Notify on error with high priority

if ! ./critical-task.sh; then
  bash scripts/send.sh -t "⚠️ Critical Failure" -m "Task failed, check logs" -p 10
fi

Rich markdown notification

bash scripts/send.sh --markdown -t "Daily Summary" -m "

Workflow

When the user says:

"Notify me when this finishes" → Add && bash scripts/send.sh "Task complete" to their command
"Send a Gotify alert" → Run bash scripts/send.sh with their message
"Push notification for task completion" → Integrate into their workflow with appropriate title/priority

Always confirm the notification was sent successfully (check for JSON response with message ID).

Notes

Requires network access to your Gotify server
App token must have "create message" permission
Priority levels affect notification behavior on client devices
Markdown support depends on Gotify client version (most modern clients support it)
