ZNC to Notifo

ZNC to Notifo is a module for ZNC that will send notifications to a Notifo account for any private message or channel highlight that matches a configurable set of conditions.

This project is still a Work In Progress, but should be functional enough and stable enough for everyday usage. Users are more than welcome to submit feature requests or patches for discussion or inclusion.

ZNC to Notifo was created by John Reese and designed to fill a personal need. It may not suit your use cases, but any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Compiling

If you have make installed, you can compile the module with:

$ make

Otherwise, run the full command:

$ znc-build notifo.cpp

Installation

Copy the compiled module into your ZNC profile:

$ cp notifo.so ~/.znc/modules/

Now, load the module in ZNC:

/msg *status loadmod notifo

Then set your Notifo username and API secret:

/msg *notifo set username foo
/msg *notifo set secret ...

At this point, it should start sending notifications every time you get a private message or someone says your name in a channel. If this is everything you wanted, congratulations, you're done!

• Highlights: Strings to trigger a channel notification, in addition to the default highlight when your nick is mentioned.
