CSTDev/notifierlambda

AWS Lambda for searching a website for a string, and sending an SMS based on it being found.

Notifier

Searches a given website for a text string and sends a text when it's found or not depending on the set environment variable.

Build

Building is done using make, so requires you have that installed.

Local Build

Then run:

BINARY_NAME=notifierlambda make build

Build for deploying

To build it for deploying it needs to be built for linux and packaged in a zip. Either of these will do it:

BINARY_NAME=notifierlambda make build-linux
make build-all-linux

Run

Once built it can be run locally using:

BINARY_NAME=notifierlambda make build

Note: although it's worth swapping out the following lines in notifierlambda.go's main method before building it if running locally.

lambda.Start(handleRequest)
// handleRequest()

or wrapped up as a zip and deployed to AWS

It requires the following environment variables to be set:
REGION - AWS region
URL - Web URL to search for text
SEARCH_TEXT - Text to be searched for
PHONE_NUMBER - Phone number to send the SMS message to
ALERT_IF_PRESENT - (optional) true if you want to alert if a page has text
false if you want to alert if text is not present
