# Notifications

Supports notifications via:

- [Pushbullet][1]
- [Telegram][2]
- [ntfy][6]

# Requirements

- PHP 8.1+
- composer

# Setup

Clone the repo

```bash
git clone https://github.com/inverse/termin.git
```

## Dependencies

Install dependencies

```bash
composer install
```

## Configuration

Configure an `config.yml` file based on the `example.config.yml` file located in the root of the repository.

### Notifications

Termin supports various notifiers, it will send notifications to each one you configure.

#### ntfy (Easiest)

Set `ntfy.topic` within `config.yml` to something unique to you.

_You can customise the server if you wish to use a 3rd party or self-hosted one._

Configure your client to listen to the same configured server/topic.

- From your [phone][7]
- From your [browser][8]

#### Pushbullet

Set `pushbullet.api_token` within `config.yml` with an API token from your account. Follow their [quick start guide][3] on how to get this.

Make sure you install their application or browser extension.

#### Telegram

Follow the [official documentation][4] on setting up a bot.

Within `config.yml` Set `telegram.api_key` with the API key provided from this process.

You will first need to make communication with the bot to enable it to send messages to you.

Once you have done that find your chat ID. You can get this by interacting with `@raw_data_bot` bot.

Set the value in `telegram.chat_id`.

##### Groups

If you are adding the bot to a group you must add your bot to your group.

Then find the chat ID for the group by adding `@raw_data_bot` and it will detail this.

Take care when copying the leading `-` as this is required for group chat IDs.

### Site configuration

You can configure Termin to notify on multiple appointment types.

```yaml
sites:
-
label: Vaterschaftsanerkennung
type: berlin_service
params:
url: https://service.berlin.de/terminvereinbarung/termin/tag.php?termin=1&dienstleister=122900&anliegen[]=318991&herkunft=1
-
label: Geburtsurkunde
type: berlin_service
params:
url: https://service.berlin.de/terminvereinbarung/termin/tag.php?termin=1&dienstleister=122900&anliegen[]=318957&herkunft=1
```

- `label` - the friendly label that will be displayed in the notification
- `type` - The type of scraper to use (`berlin_service` currently supported)
- `params.url` - the service URL you want to book. e.g. the URL behind the "Book an Appointment button"

### Rules

Termin also has a simple rule engine that can be used for only notifying when certain conditions are met. Below listed are the currently supported rules that can be used to control the triggering of notifications.

#### after

Only notify when found appointments happen after condition.

```yaml
rules:
-
type: after
param: PT24H # Notify when the appointment is greater than 24h in the future
```

Uses the PHP [DateInterval][5] construct.

#### before

Only notify when found appointments happen before condition.

```yaml
rules:
-
type: before
param: PT24H # Notify when the appointment is less than 24h in the future
```

Uses the PHP [DateInterval][5] construct.

#### after_date

Only notify when found appointments happen after date condition.

```yaml
rules:
-
type: after_date
param: '2022-01-01 00:00:00'
```

#### before_date

Only notify when found appointments happen before date condition.

```yaml
rules:
-
type: before_date
param: '2022-01-01 00:00:00'
```

## Run

You can execute the script manually to test if everything is working correctly.

```bash
php app.php
```

If you see no errors and output similar to:

```
[2021-11-01T19:43:14.687782+00:00] termin.INFO: No availability found for: Anmeldung einer Wohnung [] []
```

You can then configure this to run on a regular schedule using something that your OS provides.

For example with cron, setup a job to call `app.php` on desired run interval e.g. every hour

```bash
0 * * * * php ~/path/to/termin/app.php
```

_Note: Don't set the frequency to high to not overload their website_

Wait for a notification!

## Run (docker)

Configure the application following the above steps and then run the prebuilt docker image.

```bash
docker run -it -v $(pwd)/config.yml:/app/config.yml ghcr.io/inverse/termin/termin:latest
```

Configure this to run on a regular schedule using something that your OS provides.

_Note: Don't set the schedule frequency to high to not overload their website_

## Run (serverless)

Termin can also be run as a serverless application. Configure the application like you would like any other way.

Install serverless toolchain:

```bash
npm install
```

Then configure your environment with [serverless tooling][9].

And finally deploy:

```bash
npx serverless deploy
```

To remove run:

```bash
npx serverless remove
```
