Ntfy is a fantastic free and open-source project. If you enjoy using the app, consider supporting them.

Discord

Setup Discord webhook

Discord notifications about episodes will be sent to you via a Discord webhook. Discord webhooks function as a unique URL where services like TvShowCalendar can "post" information the moment an event occurs, like when an episode airs.

• Go to your Discord server and find the channel where you want messages to appear. Typically, you would create a new channel specifically for receiving TvShowCalendar notifications.
• Click the little gear icon next to the channel name to open the settings. Look for a tab labeled Integrations and click the Webhooks option.
• From there, just hit the New Webhook button. You can give your webhook a name and a profile picture if you like, then click Copy Webhook URL. This link is the "address" you will paste into TvShowCalendar so it knows exactly where to send notifications.

Profile setup

Go to your TvShowCalendar profile and select Enable Discord notifications. Paste your Discord webhook URL into the provided field and click Enable. If the setup is successful, your webhook URL will appear on the screen. You can then verify the connection by clicking the Send test message button.
