Add Discord Notifications via Webhooks

Post by sdt5intk »

Hello SABnzbd team,

I’d like to request a new feature: support for Discord notifications via webhooks.

📌 Purpose:
Many users (myself included) run SABnzbd on remote servers or as part of automated media workflows. Getting real-time updates in Discord would be a huge quality-of-life improvement for monitoring downloads and automation results.

✅ Proposed Functionality:
Allow users to enter a Discord Webhook URL in the Notifications section of the SABnzbd settings.

Option to enable notifications for:

Download started

Download completed

Download failed

Queue paused/resumed

Customizable message templates would be a plus, but a simple message with title, status, and time would be more than sufficient.

📦 Example Payload:
Here’s a minimal JSON payload that works with Discord’s webhook system:

json
Copy
Edit
{
"content": "**Download Complete** 🎉\nTitle: `Example.Movie.2024.1080p`\nTime: `12:34 PM`"
}
Or optionally, using Discord’s embed system for cleaner formatting.

🔧 Implementation Notes:
Discord webhooks use standard POST requests with JSON payloads.

No authentication needed beyond the webhook URL.

This would be similar to the existing Email, Growl, or Pushbullet integration.

🚀 Benefits:
Fits perfectly into modern home-lab and media automation workflows.

Offers immediate feedback and alerts without needing to check the SABnzbd UI.

Many users already use Discord for notifications from other services (e.g. Sonarr, Radarr, Plex).

Thanks for considering this! SABnzbd is an amazing tool, and this would make it even more powerful for remote and automated setups.
