Posting screen caps to Slack

[lbutlr]

Since the only alert notifications in my SmartClient (and I assume yours) are email and I've gotten into the habit of looking at email every few days and not every 15 minutes, I decided to create a slack channel on my family slack that would get all the screenshots. This has the additional benefit of sending me an alert on my computer, laptop, iPad, and iPhone.

I used procmail to do this, but anything that lets you process mail will work.

Code: Select all

:0c

* ^TO_.*myNVRalertEmail@mydomain.tld

* 9876543210^0 ^Content-Type:.*multipart

* 9876543210^0 ^Content-Type:.*inline

* 9876543210^0 ^Content-Type:.*image/jpeg

   # If the message has any sort of attachment that could be an image...

{

  # Write the mime message parts to a web accessible directory

  :0fw

  | ripmime -i - -d /www/photodrop/



  # Get one file that was created in the last minute. This will *usually* be the most recent

  # File, but with 8 cameras, maybe not.

  FOTO=`find /www/photodrop/ -cmin -1 -size +10k -type f -exec basename {} \; | tail -1`

    # WHOST is the http://server/path of the web host

  URL="<${WHOST}/${FOTO}>"

  URL=`echo $URL | sed 's/ /%20/g'`

    # $HOOK is the web hook from api.slack.com

  PAYLOAD="payload={\"icon_emoji\":\":warning:\",\"username\":\"QCAM-NVR\",\"text\":\"${URL}\"} $HOOK"

  :0c

  # If these match, there was no FOTO LINK, so abort

  * ! URL ?? ^^${WHOST}^^

  | curl -s --data-urlencode $PAYLOAD



  # Or, use Oysttyer and dm yourself, but this results in twitter getting annoyed with you.

  # | oysttyer -runcommand="/dm ${TWIT} $URL"

}

Hope someone finds this useful
