notify

Set notifications

acme.sh can send notifications in its cronjob. Every night when the renew cronjob runs, you may receive notifications based on notify-level and notify-mode.

The settings on this page are used for testing and configuration of notifications. They should not be included in your cron job. To configure notifications, use the --set-notify argument. This will send test notifications and update account.conf with the new settings.

  --notify-level  0|1|2|3           Set the notification level:  Default value is 2.

                 0: disabled, no notification will be sent.
                 1: send notification only when there is an error. No news is good news.
                 2: send notification when a cert is successfully renewed, or there is an error
                 3: send notification when a cert is skipped, renewed, or error. You will receive notification every night with this level.


  --notify-mode   0|1               Set notification mode. Default value is 0.

                  0: Bulk mode. Send all the domain's notifications in one message(email)
                  1: Cert mode. Send a message for every single cert. You may receive a bulk of emails in one night.

  --notify-hook   [hookname]        Set the notify hook

The notifications can be emails or any other supported ways, such as requesting to a webhook, etc.

You can also implement your own hook.

See example: mailgun.sh or sendgrid.sh

Usage:

acme.sh --set-notify  [--notify-hook mailgun]

acme.sh --set-notify  [--notify-level 2]
acme.sh --set-notify  [--notify-mode 0]

There can be multiple --notify-hook parameters:

acme.sh --set-notify  --notify-hook mailgun  --notify-hook mail

And, all the parameters can be used together:

acme.sh --set-notify  --notify-hook mailgun  --notify-hook mail  \
  --notify-level 2 \
  --notify-mode 0

1. Set notification for mailgun.com

Send notification by mailgun.com api. The notification email will be sent to your email address.

Please register a free account at mailgun.com, you will get your api key.

If you don't have a domain, you can use the sandbox domain in your account. It looks like sandbox888888.mailgun.org. If you use the sandbox domain, you must add your receiving email address as an "Authorized recipient" https://app.mailgun.com/app/account/authorized

#The api key in your account.
export  MAILGUN_API_KEY="xxxxxxxx"

#The api domain, you can use the sandbox domain in your account.
export  MAILGUN_API_DOMAIN="xxxxxx.com"

#Optional,  the mail from address. it must be user@MAILGUN_API_DOMAIN
export  MAILGUN_FROM="xxx@xxxxxx.com"

#The mail to address, which is to receive the notification.

#Optional, if your mailgun account is in eu region, you must set MAILGUN_REGION
export  MAILGUN_REGION="us|eu"          #optional, use "us" as default

acme.sh --set-notify  --notify-hook  mailgun

2. Set notification for sendgrid.com

export SENDGRID_API_KEY="xxxxxxxxxx"
export SENDGRID_FROM="xxxx@cccc.com"
export SENDGRID_TO="xxxx@xxx.com"

acme.sh --set-notify  --notify-hook sendgrid

3. Set notification for mail

Set it in your systems environment:

export MAIL_FROM="xxx@xxx.com" # or "Xxx Xxx <xxx@xxx.com>", currently works only with sendmail
export MAIL_TO="xxx@xxx.com"   # your account e-mail will be used as default if available

It will try to find and use sendmail, ssmtp, mutt, mail or msmtp automatically, if installed.

If you want to specify which application to use, please use MAIL_BIN:

export MAIL_BIN="sendmail"     # should be one of following: sendmail, ssmtp, mutt, mail or msmtp (with or without path)

Use the given account instead of the account named "default" in msmtp command.

export MAIL_MSMTP_ACCOUNT="account"

Ok, let's set notification hook:

acme.sh --set-notify  --notify-hook mail

The MAIL_BIN, MAIL_TO and MAIL_FROM will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

4. Set notification for Slack Webhooks

First get your Slack Webhook URL, then set it in your systems environment:

export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="..."

The POSTMARK_TOKEN, POSTMARK_TO and POSTMARK_FROM will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

If there are any bugs for postmarkapp.com API, please report here: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/issues/2309

6. Set notification for pushover.net

Send notification via pushover.net's api. The notification will be pushed to the specified pushover application.

Make a note of your PushOver user key from your account dashboard Create your pushover application at https://pushover.net/apps/build and note the API Token.

7. Set notification for IFTTT Webhooks

Send notification via IFTTT Webhooks so that you can make acme.sh work with tons of IFTTT services.

Firstly, connect our IFTTT to Webhooks service at https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks and click "Documentation" in the top right corner to get the API key.

Secondly, create our IFTTT applet with Webhooks as this' and whatever as that', we'll setup the event name(e.g. acme_status) for this applet trigger.

Now we can set acme.sh notification hook:

#The API key.
export IFTTT_API_KEY="xxxx"

#Our event name, this should be same as the setting of your applet.
export IFTTT_EVENT_NAME="acme_status"

#Optional: the key of notification subject, available values are "value1", "value2", "value3", default "value1"
export IFTTT_SUBJECT_KEY="value1"

#Optional: the key of notification content, available values are "value1", "value2", "value3", default "value2"
export IFTTT_CONTENT_KEY="value2"

#Now we're ready to set notify hook
acme.sh --set-notify --notify-hook ifttt

The IFTTT_API_KEY, IFTTT_EVENT_NAME, IFTTT_SUBJECT_KEY and IFTTT_CONTENT_KEY will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

If there are any bugs for IFTTT Webhooks notify, please report here: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/issues/2421

8. Set notification for xmpp (aka jabber)

Install and sendxmpp manually or using your distributions package manager. Configure the sending account in ~/.sendxmpprc e.g.:

username: example
jserver: example.com
password: xxxxxxxx

Set it in your systems environment:

export XMPP_TO="xxx@xxx.com"                         # the xmpp account to send notifications to

Currently only sendxmpp is supported for sending notifications but support for similar tools can be added easily.

If you want to specify which application to use, please use XMPP_BIN:

export XMPP_BIN="/usr/bin/sendxmpp"                  # optional: override command to send xmpp messages
export XMPP_BIN_ARGS="--tls-ca-path=/etc/ssl/certs'" # optional: arguments for the xmpp command

Ok, let's set notification hook:

acme.sh --set-notify  --notify-hook xmpp

The XMPP_TO, XMPP_BIN and XMPP_BIN_ARGS will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

On debian based systems sendxmpp has problems validating certificates (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=854210).

English version

Push notifications to QQ via the plugin CQHTTP of CoolQ. A self-built CQHTTP server is needed. Visit the community of CoolQ and the docs of CQHTTP for the details of deployment.

CoolQ is a third-party headless QQ client, which provides a strong plugin system. Before we start, you need to prepare a QQ number for the robot. And ensure that your QQ number is a friend of the robot. CQHTTP is a plugin of CoolQ, which provides HTTP API for CoolQ.

This hook can parse four environment variables:
