Scoping Notifications

Each connection can be limited to specific apps:

  • All Apps: Triggers for any app
  • Specific App Type: Only triggers for Sonarr, Radarr, etc.
  • Specific Instance: Only triggers for a particular instance

This lets you route different apps to different channels/recipients.

Tips

  • Always send a test notification when setting up a new connection
  • Use scoping to avoid notification spam
  • Discord webhooks are the easiest to set up
  • Apprise supports 80+ services if your preferred one isn't listed directly
Multiple connections

You can have multiple notification connections. For example, Discord for movies and Telegram for TV shows.
