Setting Up Ntfy Notifications
Updated over a week ago

Introduction

This guide will walk you through integrating Ntfy with TeraCopy to receive real-time notifications after each file transfer job is completed. By setting up Ntfy notifications, you can stay informed about your file transfers without constantly monitoring TeraCopy.

Prerequisites

  • TeraCopy is installed on your Windows computer.

  • An active internet connection to access Ntfy services.

Steps

1. Open the Ntfy Web Application

2. Generate and Copy a Topic Name

  • Click on "Subscribe to topic".

  • Select "Generate name" to create a unique topic.

  • Copy the generated topic name for later use.

3. Access the TeraCopy Scripts Folder

  • Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.

  • Type %APPDATA%\TeraCopy\Scripts into the dialog box.

  • Press Enter to open the Scripts folder.

4. Edit the Script

  • Locate the Notify via Ntfy.ps1 script in the Scripts folder.

  • Right-click the file and choose "Edit" or open it with a text editor like Notepad.

  • Find the placeholder YOUR_TOPIC within the script.

  • Replace YOUR_TOPIC with the topic name you copied earlier.

  • Save the changes and close the editor.

5. Configure TeraCopy to Use the Script

  • Open TeraCopy.

  • Navigate to the Options tab.

  • In the Scripts section, select Notify via Ntfy.ps1 from the dropdown menu.

6. Set the Script as Default

  • Click on the "Save as default" button.

  • This action ensures the script will execute automatically after each job completion.

7. Test the Setup

  • Perform a test file transfer using TeraCopy.

  • Verify that you receive a notification via Ntfy upon completion.

[void][System.Console]::ReadKey($true)
