• Icon Support: No
• Message Format: Text

Syntax

Valid syntaxes are as follows:

• rocket:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}/#{channel}
• rocket:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/#{channel}
• rocket:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}/{room_id}
• rocket:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{room_id}
• rockets:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}/#{channel}
• rockets:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/#{channel}
• rockets:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}/{room_id}

You can also form any combination of the above and perform updates from one url:

• rocket:://{user}:{password}@{hostname}/#{channel_id}/{room_id}

If neither a {room_id} or #{channel} is specified then this notification will fail.

Secure connections (via https) should be referenced using rockets:// where as insecure connections (via http) should be referenced via rocket://.
