notifications to the ntfy app

app ntfy

What is ntfy?

ntfy (pronounced “notify”) works as a “publish-subscribe” notification service, in which you send a message to a “topic.” A smartphone or computer running the ntfy app and subscribed to the same topic receives the message as a real-time push notification.

This allows for the delivery of instant alerts generated by scripts, servers, or any other service, allowing users to receive notifications without complex configuration.

How it works with RealSender:
  • Publishers:
    you can publish messages on a topic via email by sending an email to a specific address. For example, you can publish a message by sending an email to topic@ntfy.youremaildomain.com.
    The message content matches the email subject.
    Only RealSender users are authorized to send emails to this address

  • Subscribers:
    they receive notifications via their smartphone or computer,
    with the ntfy app installed and the topic they’ve subscribed to

  • Topics:
    think of topics as channels, with unique names and streams of events that are published within them.
    You don’t need to explicitly create topics; just choose a name and use it.
    Topic names are public, so it’s wise to choose something that cannot be guessed easily

After the email is sent, the ntfy server receives the message and stores it for that topic’s subscribers.
A subscriber (via the ntfy app) is connected to the topic and receives the message in real time.

It’s a “decoupled system”, publishers don’t need to know their subscribers, and vice versa.
This simplifies its use and management, both for the publisher and the subscriber.

The recipient address is already filled with the original sender number:

Recipient: mobilenumber@text.yourdomain.com
Subject:   the content of the reply

(additional email content and attachments are ignored)

The conversation between email application and mobile device can thus continue.
