APP-Request: ProxyRules

šŸ’» Development
1

I have a lot of Inputs that came over Nextcloud into my devices.
Talk, Mail, Matrix, News , In future may Social

But In many cases the inputs arrive on the wrong channel.

As an example for redirect:

  • Notification: I receive a lot of Notification on mail. Best destination would be a Messanger app. Same goes for some specific news I receive on Nextcloud news.

An example for filtering:

  • On Nextcloud News and Mail, I receive a lot of unwanted Information. It would be nice to be able to filter incoming data for a various condition and set category, set as read, declare as spam, remove.

ProxyRules should be able to filter every input source of nextcloud and redirect certain message to certain connected devices/apps.

So, this is a request to discuss some topics and put the features into a dedicated app, am I right?

I do see the benefit of something like this but I also see quite some issues. Should mail be forewardable to the messenger? I doubt it.

I would say, the first step is to identify the possible inputs and outputs (e.g. NC notification, Matrix,ā€¦). Then we might think of further solutions.

Iā€™m not sure if this can be an App or if there is a need for some basics in core. At least there seems with Flow a similar Idea.

I would say, first all requirements needs to be clarified. Therefore, I asked about the inputs and outputs. That is the first step to analyze this, I guess.
