README

WARNING: This module has been superseeded by MSP_Notifier, it will not be maintained anymore. Unless you are using Magento <= 2.1 consider switch to the new and improved version.

MSP Notify

MSP Notify is a Magento 2 extension that allows to be notified when something happens in your store. (e.g. "if an admin fails to login send me a message on Slack") You can attach to any Magento 2 or custom event and get a notification to a specified channel (e.g. Slack, Telegram, Email..)

It is easily customizable and you can create your custom adapter to add even mode notification channels.

Installation

Suggested installation method is by using composer composer require msp/notify. This module needs that the Magento cron is up and running.

Basic Usage

Configure a notification channel

First of all you need to tell Magento how you want to be notified.

  1. In the admin panel go to system => configure channels
  2. Add a new channel
  3. Configure your channel (see adapter specific instructions below) and save.

Link channel to events

Then you need to subscribe to events

  1. In admin panel go to system => configure events
  2. Add a new event
  3. Specify (one per line) to which events you want to subscribe and save
  4. Select the channel you want to be notified at

When the event is triggered you receive a message on the channel you selected.

The default message contains just the event's name, if you want to have more meaningful messages read the next section.

Advanced Usage

Customize message text

You can customize the message that is sent by creating a new module containing a new notification_templates.xml.

Example content for that file:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:MSP_Notify:etc/notification_templates.xsd">
    <templates>
        <template id="event_to_be_observed" label="Template name" file="Your_Module::path_to_your_template.phtml" module="Your_Module" />
    </templates>
</config>

Your template must be placed under msp_notify (e.g.: app/code/Vendor/Module/msp_notify/myevent.phtml) and should be something like:

<?php
$observedObject = $block->getObject();

echo __("Object %1 has been processed", $observedObject->getName());

Optionally in the xml file you can specify a custom Block instead of the default one.

Adding a custom channel adapter

This module contains three build in adapters:

  • Slack
  • Telegram
  • Email

if you want to add another adapter you just need to do three things:

  1. Create the adapter class that implements MSP\Notify\Api\AdapterInterface
  2. Register the new adapter in \MSP\Notify\Base\AdapterList using di.xml
  3. Extend the channel form by adding your adapter specific configuration

Adapter specific instructions

Slack

To use slack you need an incoming webhook that can obtained following those instructions

All the other fields are optional.

Telegram

  1. To use telegram you need to get a bot token from the BotFather.
    • Open your telegram app
    • Search for BotFather user
    • Start a new chat
    • Type: /newbot
    • Follow the instructions.
    • At the end you will get an HTTP API token. Copy and paste this token to your token field.
  2. Then you need to know the chat id:
    • Open your telegram app
    • Search for get_id_bot user
    • Start a new chat
    • Type: /my_id
    • Copy the resulting value in your Chat Id field

The same procedure can be applied for a Telegram group by temporary adding the get_id_bot as group member. After you get the Chat ID you should remove it.

Email

This is easy! Just specify email object and recipients (separated by commas)
