Custom Push Notifications for Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr
- Added Email notification support (Gmail by default)
- Added cover art support
- Added Lidarr support
- Added BoxCar notification scripts
I have been looking for a way to customise the push notifications I receive from Sonarr and Radarr to make things easier at a glance. I didn't like "Radarr - Movie Downloaded" or "Sonarr - Episode Downloaded" and other services would tell me which episode/movie was actually completed.
When I found multiple requests for the ability to customise this and no simple solution I decided to make my own.
I didn't want to use any add-ins if possible and wanted something I could run on Windows or Linux as I occasionally move my installs around. I found a great script on the Sonarr.TV forum by bobbintb and used that to create everything in Powershell for Sonarr. Once I had it working I modified the script to work for Radarr and posted it online for everyone to share.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to parse JSON in bash alone so if you run Linux or Mac OS you will need to install jq from here: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
I realise I could have used Python as most Mac/Linux users should have this installed but I don't really know Python that well and the PowerShell scripts translated to Bash quite easily.

I have not been able to test this on a Mac but I understand it should work the same as the Linux shell script above. If anyone is able to test this and provide feedback that would be greatly appreciated.
bobbintb - His original email and SMS notification script is what inspired this and was used/modified for my scripts. https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/custom-email-and-sms-notifications/14401
