# cohost-notification-server
Deliver [cohost](https://cohost.org) notifications to an IFTTT Webhook.

**This repo is not affiliated with cohost.**

## Setup

1. Clone the repo & install the dependencies
```bash
git clone [email protected]:mogery/cohost-notification-server.git
cd cohost-notification-server
npm i
```
2. Create your IFTTT Applet like so:

Your applet should have two parts: a Webhook "Receive a web request" trigger, and a Notifications "Send a rich notification from the IFTTT app" action.
In the Webhook trigger, the event name should be "cohost_notification" (without the quotes).
In the Notifications action, the title should be the Value1 ingredient, the message should be the Value2 ingredient, and the link URL should be the Value3 ingredient.
3. Get your IFTTT Webhook. You can find the link by clicking on the Documentation button on [this site](https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks). **The correct link will be under the "To trigger an Event with 3 JSON values" heading.** When you have the link, you should replace `{event}` with `cohost_notification`.
4. Create a `.env` file in the root directory of the repo. Inside you should set 3 values. `COHOST_EMAIL` should be set to the e-mail address of your cohost account. `COHOST_PASSWORD` should be your cohost password. `IFTTT_WEBHOOK` should be the Webhook link that you just got. **Make sure that you replaced `{event}` with `cohost_notification`.**

Here's an example `.env` file (fill it out with your own info though):
```dotenv
[email protected]
COHOST_PASSWORD=hunter2
IFTTT_WEBHOOK=https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/cohost_notification/with/key/randomstringofcharacters
```

## Usage

```bash
node index.js
```

It will crash if cohost goes down, so you should probably pair it with [forever](https://npmjs.com/package/forever):
```bash
forever index.js
```
