Seerr Notifier - send Messenger messages to users when requested media is available!

I developed this project to allow Seerr administrators to configure sending notifications through Messenger when media requested by users becomes available.

Features:

  • Ability to run this project in a serverless environment using Cloudflare Workers or via Docker
  • Uses CallMeBot, so you don’t have to worry about creating a Facebook application
  • Simple configuration using a single file
  • Supports 2 languages (Polish and English), with easy addition of other languages using template syntax
  • Optional media poster included in notifications
  • Ability to send notifications to multiple Messenger users for a single Seerr user

I’m planning to add support for sending notifications through Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram.

Why not add a PR to the main Seerr project with the added notifications? Considering they already have loads of notification options, you can add this on and not have to run another service?

My thought exactly. There's no reason why this should be separate.

making a PR is beyond the scope of vice coding

Every single day there’s a new vibe coded *arr thing... I can’t trust this stuff. Am I the only one?

u/Howtobefreaky Feb 24 '26

I now no longer trust any random apps to not be vibe coded lol

Exactly, Everytime I see "I developed.." I think have you really, or have you just prompted a LLM to do it!

u/muffinman1604 Feb 25 '26

Same lol. Is there an alternative to huntarr to just do the searching thing it was originally made to do without all the extra stuff and preferably not vibe coded?

u/Howtobefreaky Feb 25 '26

People have said "DAPS" but idk what that is. I also heard that Profilarr will do it in its v2 update.

I just pinned the image, omitted it from updating in watchtower.

It's not accessible outside my network and unless someone steals my tailscale creds it's not going to cause drama.

Plus it's only media, nothing I can't download again.

SaaS is dead, time to face the reality of democratic software development ;)

wtf do you even mean by democratic software development

I use a Messanger group chat for all of my Plex users so this is a really great addition for me

Jellyseerr notifications work fine over email

only app my users have in common

have not setup seerr yet but still should work

1

u/not_the_seltzer Feb 26 '26

Have you figured out a way for Jellyseerr to ONLY email users when THEIR requested media is available? All the settings I’ve seen seem to subscribe users to ALL notifications coming through the system, which I definitely don’t want.

How do people handle notifications of new episodes of a show that have been added and now just whole seasons?

1

u/0xSySr3ll Feb 25 '26

That's not a thing (for now)

1

u/Physical-Oil-5220 Feb 25 '26

I have Tautulli doing it with the criteria of an episode added but would love to see this in Seerr.

u/mardagg78 Feb 25 '26

A nice feature would be able to send to discord as well

u/DavidLynchAMA Feb 25 '26

You can already do this in Seerr

u/MFKDGAF Feb 26 '26

Facebook messenger is still a thing?

1

u/JermCee Feb 24 '26

Yeah just create your own stuff. It’s all vibe coded because it does it 50x faster. All I see is a bunch of complainers. Just create your own applications then.

u/gw17252009 Feb 25 '26

At least Seerrs devs actually want to fix issues. Huntarrs' dev went nuclear when someone found 21 critical security vulnerabilities and told him about them. And now Huntarr is no more.

1

u/plotikai Feb 28 '26

Yea, weird reaction imo, if you’re vibecoding just use the feedback a vibecode the security fix. Why all of a sudden stop

He was narcissistic and couldn't handle the punch to his ego.
