using gotify for tautulli notifications

in my quest to migrate off third party service providers there has been two stubborn roadblocks: zabbix & tautulli. tautulli even closed a PR to add this!

anyways, it’s possible to do this via the webhook option instead. here’s how you do it:

gotify

so first off, login to your gotify instance and create a new app. copy down the token.
that’s it for gotify.

tautulli

1. login to tautulli

2. go to settings/notification agents

3. Add a new notification agent and select Webhook

4. configuration: swap in your actual gotify URL.
   

5. triggers: enable the triggers you’d like

6. conditions: skip - no changes necessary

7. data: this is the tricky part:
   you need to modify the json entry for every single trigger you enabled in part 5.
   here is an example for the playback error trigger:

   

   json headers:

   {"X-Gotify-Key": "your-gotify-token"}
   

   json data:

   {
   "message": "{user} ({player}) encountered an error trying to play {title}.",
   "priority": 2,
   "title": "plex.your.domain"
   }
   

   reminder: this needs to be done for all enabled triggers.

8. hit save, you’re done.

troubleshooting:

i suggest enabling the playback start trigger and triggering it manually on plex to test. if you want to use the pre-formatted messages in the json data fields, you can pull it from the body sections here.

be sure to let me know if you have any questions!
