Four more notification channels (Free). Settings, Notifications, Channels now also offers:
Discord: paste the channel's webhook URL; messages arrive as an embed coloured by
severity (blue info, amber warning, red critical) with time, affected object and a link back
to Containly. Mentions are switched off and Markdown in names is escaped.
Telegram: your own bot token (from @Botfather), a chat ID (number, -100... for groups
and channels, or @channelname) and an optional topic ID for groups with topics. HTML
formatting with escaped text and a link button text in the channel's language.
Slack: an incoming webhook URL; messages use blocks (header, text, context, an "Open in
Containly" button) inside an attachment coloured by severity, plus a plain fallback text.
Pushover: app token and user (or group) key, an optional device, and a priority per
severity from -2 to 2. Defaults are info -1, warning 0, critical 1; emergency priority 2 is
never a default, and choosing it shows a warning plus the repeat interval and stop time.
All four have the existing per-channel filter (minimum severity, events, message language),
"Send test" that saves nothing, delivery log, rate limit and retries.
Web push to your own devices (Free). Profile, Push notifications turns on push for the
current browser or the installed app (PWA) and lists every device of your account with rename,
minimum severity and event filter per device, "Send test" and remove. You get the
notifications for which you are a recipient under Settings, Notifications, also without an
e-mail address. Clicking a notification opens the relevant page in Containly. The page explains
why push is not available when the browser does not support it, the page is not served over
HTTPS, notifications are blocked, or an iPhone or iPad has not added Containly to the home
screen (Share, Add to Home Screen, iOS 16.4 or later).
Workflows (Pro): the notify step can also send push to devices (the recipients'
devices that pass their own minimum severity), next to in-app, e-mail and saved channels.
Checked on the server: on Free a workflow push is refused.
Security
Discord and Slack webhook URLs are only accepted on the official hosts and paths
(https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..., also discordapp.com, ptb. and canary.; https://hooks.slack.com/...); Telegram and Pushover requests only ever go to api.telegram.org and api.pushover.net. The URLs, bot token, app token and user key are
stored encrypted like all channel secrets and are never returned; the list shows a masked hint
(host and the last four characters of the webhook ID).
Web push needs no third-party service: Containly generates its own VAPID key pair once (private
key stored encrypted), encrypts every message for the receiving browser (RFC 8291, aes128gcm)
and posts it only to the browser vendors' push services (Google FCM, Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft
WNS). The push service only sees ciphertext. Subscription endpoints and keys are stored
encrypted and never returned by the API. A subscription is deleted as soon as the push service
answers 404 or 410 (app removed, permission revoked), and with its user.
Per device at most 20 push messages per minute; temporary errors are retried with the same
backoff as the channels.
Changed
Database migration 47 adds the table push_subscriptions; the VAPID key pair is stored in the
instance settings (webpush_vapid).
The channel type in the add dialog is now a dropdown (seven types).
The demo shows sample Discord, Telegram, Slack and Pushover channels (test simulated, nothing is
sent); the push page is visible but disabled with a hint, because push needs your own instance
with HTTPS.
Notes
The Discord, Telegram, Slack and Pushover request formats are verified against mock receivers
that check the vendor request shapes; no real vendor accounts were used before this release.
Web push was verified end to end with Google Chrome and the real FCM push service.
