Notifications can be sent on command list completion and failure.

The supported platforms for notifications are email (SMTP) and Matrix.

Notifications are defined by service, with the current form following below. Ids must come after the service.

  mail:
    prod-email:
      host: yourhost.tld

      senderaddress: email@domain.tld
      to:
        - admin@domain.tld
      username: smtp-username@domain.tld
      password: your-password-here

    matrix:
      home-server: your-home-server.tld
      room-id: room-id
      access-token: your-access-token
