Configuration

The recommended channel CSV contains display names and the names of environment variables, not webhook URLs:

channel_name,webhook_env_var
PreProd Status,PYNOTIFY_PREPROD_WEBHOOK_URL
QA Status,PYNOTIFY_QA_WEBHOOK_URL

By default, pynotify reads ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/pynotify/channels.csv. Copy src_script_example/teams_channels.csv.example there, then supply each webhook through your shell or secret manager:

export PYNOTIFY_PREPROD_WEBHOOK_URL='https://...'
pynotify

Use --channels /path/to/channels.csv or PYNOTIFY_CHANNELS_FILE to select a different file.

Local webhook file

For compatibility with existing configurations, pynotify also accepts a local CSV with channel_name,webhook_url columns. Keep this file outside the project, do not commit it, and restrict it to your account:

chmod 600 "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/pynotify/channels.csv"

Each CSV must use exactly one credential source: webhook_env_var or webhook_url, never both.
