Hi all.

Been searching for a while and still can't find anything on this.

Looking for a way to broadcast notifications of new media to a whatsapp group, which I use for requests and new media. It just me, kids and friends (10 users).

Not all have Discord, so that option is out (however well documented).

Anyone seen anything on this?

Greatly appreciated.

Side note; Been running my server for around 5 months. Have all the usuall plugins installed, custom branding, LiveTV through an iptv service, schedule, recordings etc etc. Absolutely loving it. It's just perfect. It's grown rapidly. Over 160 Movies and 90 odd TV Shows and counting. I've already bought two extra HDD's to accommodate. It literally never fails. Any client, flawless, even on the fixed tablet in the car. Now if only I could get notifications via WhatApp to save me doing this manually with every new episode/film. Complete automation is the goal.

Edit: my bad spelling.

You could add Ombi to your software stack. It supports multiple push notification providers (WhatsApp is included I believe). Bonus is it will let your users add requests which can either be admin approved, or automatically added to your respective *arr downloader.
