Love the bot, it's simple and works consistently. I'm wondering if it's possible to send a user a message on discord once their content is downloaded?

I think it's outside the scope of this bot - mainly because there are some technical details which are really best left to other apps.

Primarily, I'd have to keep track of all pending requests and constantly poll the backends to check if there's been changes in status, which is annoying. There isn't really a way to have the backends push updates to the bot.

I think the best alternative is to use either webhooks or Notifiarr to get media updates in a channel that everyone can see, at least until I figure out a good way to do it.

Yeah, I could see that being really difficult. Thank you for the response!

The best method i found for updates about downloads was to set up tautulli and have it send discord notifications when new media becomes available on your plex server

I'm curious, how did Requestrr manage this feature from the get go for so long? It seems like it was at least possible for more than one project

I never said it wasn't possible - just that I'd rather not implement it.
