What I want to do

I am trying to set up apprise using tags but it doesn't seem to work / be supported by the plugin.

Looking at the documentation for apprise plugin in NetAlertX the only options / examples are to pass a full notification url, like the telegram url containing the bot secrets.
Imo this defeats one of the core purposes of using apprise.
In my case I have the telegram secrets and urls defined under a tag in the apprise container, and then I can just call the container from any other application passing just the tag along, with no secrets and notifications work.

But in NetAlertX this does not seem to be possible?

Hi @dougmaitelli ,

I am unaware of the tags functionality. Can you point me to relevant Apprise API documentation? You are also free to submit a PR if you know how to code to add this to the plugin.

Hi @jokob-sk ,

Thank you so much for responding so quickly!

I am not home currently, but been looking at the code from my phone and will definitely open a PR to contribute this when I get back home.

You can check details about how tagging works here (search for tagging on that page) https://github.com/caronc/apprise-api/blob/master/README.md

The idea basically is that you define your notification endpoints and secrets inside apprise and assign them to categories / tags, then you can use these tags to trigger these notifications from multiple applications without the need to deal with the specific configuration every time.

@jokob-sk FYI #1123

I did not have time to test this yet

Thanks a lot for the PR @dougmaitelli - I left a few comments. Please let me know once you tested this as I need to make sure existing a new setups will work before merging your code.
