Cosm is an awesome web service for collecting any kind of data. It offers the possibility to set triggers on certain events, such as reaching a certain threshold, or the lack of updates (freeze). However, it can only post a twitter message, or send a HTTP request. In my case, I wanted to be notified via email when one of my datastreams froze. So I wrote this small php script, which sends out emails, based on templates, whenever a triggering event happens.
- Different templates for different kinds of triggers
- Restriction to a list of feeds
- ...
- Clone the repository, or download and extract the .zip somewhere into your web root or a subdirectory.
- Open
post.phpand change the config parameters to your needs.
$emailis the email address, which will recieve the notification emails.$authorized_feedsis an array of feed ids, which are allowed to use your installation of cosmTriggers.
- Adjust templates to your liking.
- Go to your Cosm feeds, add a trigger, select "HTTP Request" as your method of notification, and insert the full URL to your
post.phpfile. - Enjoy your email notifications.
