How to invoke sendNotification from a outside shell script

[agileselenium]

Hi,

I wanted to send a notification to modules from a shell script.
How can I send notifications to magicmirror modules from external application or script?

Please help me?

u have to write some additional communications process.

in one of my implementations, i write a file in the outside script, and my MM modules looks for the file and then processes it… which then sends notifications to other modules…
you could also use tcp/ip sockets, or websockets, or … there is no single builtin way

MMM-NotificationTrigger has HTTP endpoint to receive message. So if your external app can touch the endpoint, It can convert it to MagicMirror notification.

Example of using IFTTT.
