Notifications question

[LilTrublMakr]

Is there a way to create a popup/toast notification in Netbox using a Python script? I have done a little Googling and have only found native support for email notifications. If not, not a big deal since I can use Apprise.

These are the ones I am talking about:

These are how NetBox currently displays any messages sent via Django's messages framework. So calling messages.info() for example will display the provided message as a notification.

I will look in to this during the weekend. Does this have to be within Netbox/plugins or can this be used in an outside python script and sent to Netbox? I am trying to do the latter.

@LilTrublMakr Hello - sorry to bother you, but did you get those messages to work? If so, would you mind sharing an example of your code, please? I'm dealing with the same problem and I can't figure it out. Thank you :)

Besides Django's messages framework, project-static/src/bs.ts allows us to use Bootstrap's Toast (see commit 0ea9c65 ).

So you could do something like

const toast = new Toast(toastElement, { delay: 3000 });
toast.show();
