Miniflux Webhook (lazysoci.al)

Help? So what I'm trying to do is get n8n to send my phone a notification that tells me there's new stories to read every time Miniflux does a pull.

I feel like this should be easy, but it's not. I initially had it just telling me every half hour, but that felt like a dirty workaround. Should I be looking at webhook? Or am I thinking about this wrong?

Could you just poll the miniflux db directly ?

Or use their API, you can filter by timestamp here https://miniflux.app/docs/api.html#endpoint-get-entries or get counters here https://miniflux.app/docs/api.html#endpoint-counters

Thank you, I'll play with this later.

Yeah this is a much better approach

How would I get the timing right? It's matching the timing where I'm falling over

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You could just poll it every few minutes via a cronjob and only send a notification if the numbers have increased.

Personally I use miniflux too in docker but I dont have a need for notifications.

Right now it's not in my muscle memory, so I need a prompt to keep me checking.
