NOTIFICATIONS: Stay Informed
summary
Shows concrete recipes that actually send messages: local testing with MailHog, SMTP and cloud email via Melazar (Azure Graph auth with client ID/secret, Google OAuth and app passwords), HTML reports from PSR HTML or ImportExcel, SMS via Twilio REST calls, and device alerts via Pushover (one‑time fee, ~10,000 notifications/month). Demonstrates a dead man’s switch using healthchecks.io with ping/ start/ fail endpoints, group emergency retries (every ~30s) until acknowledged, and sample code that returns status true when it works.
