  1. For this to work, you'll need to signup for a PagerTree account (free trial is fine). Make sure you follow the setup wizard (you'll want to be on-call for the team the integration is pointed to in Step 2)
  2. Create a webhook integration and point it to the team (default: "Devops Team")
  3. From the integration page, copy the integration Prefix ID (used for the apprise url) image
  4. Use the Prefix ID for the apprise URL ./bin/apprise -t test -b message "pagertree://int_xxxxxxxxxx" You need to have an account with PagerTree and create a webhook integration.

Syntax

Valid syntax is as follows:

  • pagertree://{integration}
  • pagertree://{integration}?action=resolve&thirdparty_id=abc123
  • pagertree://{integration}?+pagertree-token=123&:env=prod&-incident=true&-incident_severity=SEV-1&-incident-message=Please join the bridge&tags=prod,server,outage

Parameter Breakdown

Variable Required Description
integration Yes This is the Prefix ID of your webhook integration. Found at the top of the integration page.
action No The action for the webhook. Possible values are create, acknowledge, and resolve. When using acknowledge or resolve, please use the thirdparty_id parameter to indicate to PagerTree which alert should be actioned.
thirdparty No An Id PagerTree uses to map thirdparty applications to alerts. You can specify your own, or if not, a random UUID will be generated for you.
urgency No Urgency of the alert to be generated. Possible values silent, low, medium, high, or critical. If not provided, PagerTree will use the integration's default.
tags No Comma seperated list of tags. (ex: "prod,server,outage")

Example

Send a PagerTree create command.


# Assuming our {integration_id} is int_0123456789
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   "pagertree://int_0123456789"

Payload Manipulation

Making use of the : on the Apprise URL allows you to alter and add to the body content posted upstream to PagerTree. This is useful when using the Capture Additional Data feature.

# Add to the payload delivered to PagerTree
#
# Assuming our {integration_id} is int_xxxxxxxxxx
# Assuming we want to include "server": "blue-ranger-2" as part of the existing payload:
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   "pagertree://int_xxxxxxxxxx/?:server=blue-ranger-2"

The above would post a message such as:

{
   "id": "0f85aa1c-711e-4873-95b6-e441c291537d",
   "action": "create",
   "title": "Test Message Title",
   "message": "Test Message Body",
   "server": "blue-ranger-2"
}

Header Manipulation

Some users may require special HTTP headers to be present when they post their data to PagerTree. This can be accomplished by just sticking a plus symbol (+) in front of any parameter you specify on your URL string. This is useful when making use of the PagerTree Token feature.

# Below would set the header:
#    pagertree-token: abcdefg
#
# Assuming our {integration_id} is int_xxxxxxxxxx
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   "pagertree://int_xxxxxxxxxx?+pagertree-token=abcdefg"

Meta Manipulation

Some PagerTree functionality (like incidents) lives in the meta property of the payload. To add to the meta property you just need to prefix your entries with a minus (-) symbol. See example.

# Indicate to PagerTree this alert should be marked as an incident
# The `-` symbol will get stripped off when the upstream post takes place
# Apprise knows not to do anything with the argument at all and pass it along as is.
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   "pagertree://int_xxxxxxxxxx?-incident=true&-incident_severity=SEV-1&-incident_message=Join the war room"
