hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix Cron: support multi-target delivery [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Allowing the deliver field to accept an array of targets is the most likely fix to support multiple delivery channels for cron jobs.

Guidance

• Modify the deliver field to accept an array of strings, where each string represents a target delivery channel.
• Update the cron runner to iterate over the array of targets and send the final response to each target independently.
• Implement per-target success/failure logging to track the delivery status for each channel.
• Ensure backward compatibility by treating a bare string as a single-element array.

Example

// Example of updated deliver field
{
  "deliver": ["Telegram", "Discord", "Slack"]
}

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the underlying infrastructure and APIs support sending messages to multiple channels. Additional error handling and logging mechanisms may be necessary to handle cases where delivery to one or more channels fails.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the deliver field to accept an array of targets, as this allows for multiple delivery channels without requiring significant changes to the existing cron job system.
