The Flow Notifications app adds a Send a notification action to Nextcloud Flow. It automates generating customized notifications for events that match configured rules.
Choose an event and conditions, and optionally provide a title prefix to help identify the resulting notification.
When personal flows are enabled, users can configure notification rules in their personal Flow settings.
Each rule group combines its conditions with AND: the group matches only when all its conditions match. Each matching group can trigger a notification. Events include file activity and tag assignment; conditions include MIME type, time ranges, upload size, and more.
For example, configure a flow for the File updated event with a MIME
type condition of application/pdf and the optional title "PDF updated".
When another user updates a matching PDF you can access, your flow can
notify you.
- Notifications are skipped when the current session user is the flow owner. For example, updating a file in your own session will not notify you through your own flow.
- Ensure that the Notifications app is installed and enabled. It is required for Flow Notifications to register its action.
- The notification action is available for personal flows, not administrator-scoped flows.
