Alert a user when a new modqueue or post is made in a subreddit.

New Post & ModQueue alert

This script will monitor a list of subreddits for new posts and items in the modqueue. It can then send a message to a slack or discord channel and a private message to a list of users on reddit.

You just need praw, so run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To install the dependencies. You then need to configure copy the config.json.template file to config.json and update it with the api keys and settings you want.

Reddit

Create your bot / mod account and go to: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/. Create an app and it will give you the credentials you need.

Slack

Create a slack app and get a webhook for the channel you would like to post to: https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks#getting-started.

Discord

In your server settings create a webhook: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks

Reddit PM's

Just fill in the usernames you want to be notified in the array. i.e "users": [ "Isa", "Owen" ],

Features

Then just set enabled to true on the notifications you want. You can also disable modqueue or post checking by setting mosqueue or new_posts to false. If you want to listen for only certain keywords you can add a list and enable that too.

ToDo

This is still a WIP and an ever evolving project:

• Write some tests for it
• Try and cover more error cases
• Modmail notifications
• Make into a PyPI module and or systemd service
