.
.IP "" 0
.
.SH "SERVICE URLS"
There are to many service URL and combinations to list here\. It\'s best to visit the Apprise GitHub page \fIhttps://github\.com/caronc/apprise/wiki#notification\-services\fR and see what\'s available\.
.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
Send a notification to as many servers as you want to specify as you can easily chain them together:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ apprise \-vv \-t "my title" \-b "my notification body" \e
"mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail\.com" \e
"pbul://o\.gn5kj6nfhv736I7jC3cj3QLRiyhgl98b"
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
If you don\'t specify a \fB\-\-body\fR (\fB\-b\fR) then stdin is used allowing you to use the tool as part of your every day administration:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | apprise \-vv \-t "cpu info" \e
"mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail\.com"
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Load in a configuration file which identifies all of your notification service URLs and notify them all:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ apprise \-vv \-t "my title" \-b "my notification body" \e
\-\-config=~/apprise\.yml
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Load in a configuration file from a remote server that identifies all of your notification service URLs and only notify the ones tagged as \fIdevops\fR\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ apprise \-vv \-t "my title" \-b "my notification body" \e
\-\-config=https://localhost/my/apprise/config \e
\-t devops
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Include an attachment:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ apprise \-vv \-t "School Assignment" \-b "See attached" \e
\-\-attach=Documents/FinalReport\.docx
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
A configuration file can be in the format of either \fBTEXT\fR or \fBYAML\fR where [TEXT][textconfig] is the easiest and most ideal solution for most users\. However YAML \fIhttps://github\.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/config_yaml\fR configuration files grants the user a bit more leverage and access to some of the internal features of Apprise\. Reguardless of which format you choose, both provide the users the ability to leverage \fBtagging\fR which adds a more rich and powerful notification environment\.
.
.P
Configuration files can be directly referenced via \fBapprise\fR when referencing the \fB\-\-config=\fR (\fB\-c\fR) CLI directive\. You can identify as many as you like on the command line and all of them will be loaded\. You can also point your configuration to a cloud location (by referencing \fBhttp://\fR or \fBhttps://\fR\. By default \fBapprise\fR looks in the following local locations for configuration files and loads them:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ ~/\.apprise
$ ~/\.apprise\.yml
$ ~/\.config/apprise
$ ~/\.config/apprise\.yml
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
If a default configuration file is referenced in any way by the \fBapprise\fR tool, you no longer need to provide it a Service URL\. Usage of the \fBapprise\fR tool simplifies to:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ apprise \-vv \-t "my title" \-b "my notification body"
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
If you leveraged tagging \fIhttps://github\.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/CLI_Usage#label\-leverage\-tagging\fR, you can define all of Apprise Service URLs in your configuration that you want and only specifically notify a subset of them:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ apprise \-vv \-t "Will Be Late" \-b "Go ahead and make dinner without me" \e
\-\-tag=family
.
.fi
.
