Requests and complaints…

They do complain about having to have an SMTP server. Prefer it was more automated.

Seems like I’ve been wrong about 99.9% having an SMTP server, and some of your customers are small enough to not have it.

I think it’s kinda obvious that it would be beneficial for them to be able to set up a webhook “(e.g. for Discord)” instead of maintaining an SMTP server.

Also, I can speak from the middle-sized company perspective. The average user/admin can be skilful/determined enough to set up an additional webhook (for example, for critical notifications), but not skilful/determined enough to deploy an smtp relay to messenger as a workaround or, moreover, complain to the devs.

I understand the business perspective of things enough to accept the customer-driven approach that “SMTP is good enough”. However, seeing so many webhook-alike services being supported it is honestly a bit surprising that something as simple as a webhook is not supported.

I’m a homelab user and would like to integrate my NTFY service into TrueNAS.

I understand this might not be a revolutionary change, but this would be a win to add any webhook integration rather than just with discord.
I think focusing on this just being a discord request is making it smaller than it is.
Opening up these options allows other avenues for users to use other applications & get their logs their way.

If we were to focus on this just being a discord addition (which again it shouldn’t be) it could be a good win for the users that I’m around since a lot of negative sentiment has built up from what I’ve heard about the middleware change & the removal of other features in gold eye.
To me, there’s a lot of merit in working on this to give your users more options & give them a win to try & drive back the negativity.
