Hey,
I’ve been wondering it it’d be possible to set up notifications from Deadline through Jabber. We have Spark running in the office and as most the guys in the studio are freelance they don’t check their emails often enough for email notifications to be useful. Because of this we’ve never experimented much with notifications from Deadline, so I’m pretty much going into this not knowing how it works.
Basically it’d be handy to let people know when they get bad slaves, completed jobs etc. Currently everyone’s spark username is forename.surname, so I could probably just force them to use the same as their deadline username. I’m guessing that it’d involve some python scripting, which I’m comfortable with (although I’m very much still learning). I’ve had a look at the xmpppy library and am trying to get that working to send messages through our server.
Anyway, I was hoping someone might have tried this before, or be able to point me in the direction of some resources that might help.
Cheers,
Patrick
