No user was specified; using "Apprise" and config question via rest api

❓ Question I have been able to send a successful slack message but I get a warning in the UI i.e.

2021-10-23 05:11:45,367
WARNING
No user was specified; using "Apprise".
2021-10-23 05:11:45,367
INFO

INFO

2021-10-23 05:11:45,597
INFO
Sent Slack notification.

My config (TEXT) is (xxxx replaced original slack tokens)

team=slack://xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx Am I doing something wrong ?

Also is there any config examples for using YAML rather than TEXT ?

Also, what is the format of the /add/{KEY} endpoint ?

I tried passing a complex object to “URLs” but it did not work, only works with a string.

But how can I specify the tags ?

For example…

Here is the /add/tester endpoint

{
    "urls": "slack://xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx"
}

And if I call into the json/urls/tester then I get (notice empty tags)

{
    "tags": [],
    "urls": [
        {
            "url": "slack://xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx//?image=yes&footer=yes&format=markdown&overflow=upstream&rto=4.0&cto=4.0&verify=yes",
            "tags": []
        }
    ]
}

For sure I am doing something wrong.

Of course, if I call the notify/tester endpoint without specifying a tag then the message is sent but if i specify a tag no message is sent - this is because I wasn’t able to setup a tag.

Sending a valid message - I get the warning returned in the response

2021-10-23 06:27:16,166 [WARNING] apprise: No user was specified; using “Apprise”. 2021-10-23 06:27:16,166 [INFO] apprise: Loaded 1 entries from memory:// 2021-10-23 06:27:16,166 [INFO] apprise: Notifying 1 service(s) asynchronously. 2021-10-23 06:27:16,399 [INFO] apprise: Sent Slack notification.

I also tried specifying the config on the /add endpoint but I get the format specified is invalid

i.e.

{
    "config": "team=slack://xxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx",
    "type": "text"
}

just calling the endpoint. Show you a curl,

curl --location --request POST 'https://my.domain.network/notify/stn' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "title": "Test title",
    "body": "test 1 2 3 4",
    "type": "failure",
    "tag": "alerts-lowest-priority"
}'

Here is a pic from postman and you can see the response.

BUT the message arrives to the provider, in my case for that tag - its slack.

Ok finally figured it out, the clue was in the UI, there were some sample 😃 Doh! I must have missed it.

Closing it.
