Roundcube Filter -> Send Notification

[finbarr69]

Hello.

I want to send a notification (by an email to SMS gateway) when a specific email arrives. I see that Roundcube has a sieve filter option called "Send Notification" and it has three input boxes which have no tooltips and I am unable to find any help documents telling me what to fill in those boxes.

The boxes are:

Method
Options
Message

The Message is obvious enough, but the other two?

For the method, I tried mailto:<[email protected]>
I left the options blank, typed in a short message and tried to save the filter, but it gave me an error message "Unable to save filter - server error occurred". Annoyingly, it then wiped out what I had typed and started me with a blank rule again. :-(

I also tried without the < and > round the email address.

Any clues as to proper syntax and what the options are?

Also, is it necessary to have another action after the Send Notification action to file the email away somewhere, or will it just be left in the inbox anyway if the only action is the notification?

Thanks

Brian

OK, so I found the answer.
Method : mailto
Options : [email protected]
Message : The body of the notification email

This works and sends an email with the subject: [SIEVE] New mail notification
The body of the message contains whatever you type in the Message box.

However, I did notice that the Notification plugin is deprecated (I found it in the error log /var/log/plesk-roundcube/errors which also gave me the clue that mailto is all you can type in the Method box as I saw in the log "the notify command of the deprecated notify extension only supports the 'mailto' notification method".

I hope that can help others looking for this functionality.

Finbarr69 - Thanks for sharing this solution!!

To add to it... You could set up a free zapier.com account and create an automation. eg.Upon receipt of 'email conditions in gmail', send a 'zapier sms' - free of charge and possibilities are endless.
