Originally created by @undaunt on GitHub (Jun 3, 2025).

I tested a token both directly in the URL and with a variable within Komodo UI on http://ntfy, as well as directly in the URL with my https FQDN, and both did not work.

Upon replacing it with http://user:pass@ntfy, the test worked.

The failures were 401s.

ERROR: Failed to send alert to ntfy Alerter ntfy

TRACE:
	1: Failed to send message to ntfy | 401 Unauthorized | {"code":40101,"http":401,"error":"unauthorized","link":"https://ntfy.sh/docs/publish/#authentication"}

Edit: It also does not work with a password that is replaced with a Komodo variable/secret, though I suppose https://komo.do/docs/variables does not list alerters as supported.

The variable interpolation does work for other alert variants, but not ntfy, which was added by community PR and does not include the interpolation step.

Upon replacing it with http://user:pass@ntfy/, the test worked.

What is the difference between these two?

I got it to work by entering the Ntfy URL wtih an auth query parameter, which is documented here. I just set it up in Komodo with an access token and tested it.

More to @TehNomad explained,

Komodo only provides an endpoint field, you need to encode your token and pass it via the auth query parameter.

Run the below command to get the base64 encoded auth string. If your token is tk_abc123xyz456def789,

echo -n "Bearer tk_abc123xyz456def789" | base64 -w0 | tr -d '='

This will output something like:

In Komodo's ntfy endpoint field, use:

https://your-ntfy-server.com/your-topic?auth=QmVhcmVyIHRrX2FiYzEyM3h5ejQ1NmRlZjc4OQ
