Sending Notifications

This example demonstrates how to use the optional (but recommended) Practicus AI notify app. If installed, the notify app can be used to send emails, and if configured, SMS, and other notifications. It also supports auto-populating exception details so that error notifications can be sent automatically.

In the examples below, you'll see two common use cases:

1. Sample Notification: Send a test email with custom parameters.
2. Exception Notification: Automatically send an email with exception details when an error occurs.

Example 1: Sending an email

In this example, the notify app sends a test email. You can specify recipients, title, body, and additional parameters such as log level, category, and urgency.

• recipients = None Sends email to current user.
• recipients = 'user@company.com' Sends email to selected user.
• recipients = ['user@company.com', .. ] Sends email to selected users.

# Parameters:
recipients = None

assert recipients, "Please enter your recipients."

import practicuscore as prt

prt.notify.send(
    recipients=recipients,
    title="Sample notification",
    body="This is a sample notification..",
    level="info",
    category="sample_notification",
    urgency="normal",
    # View help for other customizations
)
print("Test email sent")

Example 2: Sending Exception Notifications

In this example, we simulate an exception. The notify app captures exception details (such as the stack trace) and sends an email notification automatically when exc_info=True. This is useful for auto-alerting in production environments when unexpected errors occur.

import practicuscore as prt

try:
    # Let's simulte an exception
    x = 1 / 0
except:
    prt.notify.send(exc_info=True)
    print("Exception notification sent to current user.")

Conclusion

This example demonstrated how to use the Practicus AI notify app to send both test notifications and automatic error alerts with exception details. You can integrate this functionality into your applications to ensure critical issues are reported immediately.

Feel free to extend these examples or integrate the notify feature into your own Practicus AI applications.
