I use ifttt + pushbullet for these kinds of tasks.
Pushbullet also has an api so you can directly push notifications to your device(s).
I wouldn't mind a clone of ifttt that let me customize my own channels.
The problem with these notification tools is that if something isn't already defined for you you're kind of sol. You can sort of hack it by making the thing-you-don't-have-a-channel-for output to a channel that is supported. E.g., if you want to be notified when your local library has a book in stock, you can get your library to email you, and then filter that in gmail, and have ifttt trigger on that email to pushbullet.
Kind of a hassle. #firstworldproblems
- bjtitus 12y agoI've been using a huginn + pushbullet for this. It definitely lets you customize your channels (you can write your own in Ruby if you need full control). https://github.com/cantino/huginn/ https://github.com/cantino/huginn/
- joshstrange 12y agoI've played with Huginn before but never got it fully set up. I even started working on my own clone of it written in node.js with the idea that from the web interface you would be able to tweak the JS for each "trigger" and "action" or at a least extend them. Maybe I need to play with my own idea again or just give Huginn another shot.
