Scrypted Integration

Overview​

Zentik integrates seamlessly with Scrypted to send notifications from your Scrypted automations and devices to your Zentik-connected devices. This allows you to receive rich notifications on your mobile devices when events occur in your Scrypted setup.

The Advanced Notifier plugin in Scrypted is fully integrated with Zentik, providing comprehensive notification capabilities. With this integration, you can send multiple media attachments simultaneously in a single notification, making it perfect for security camera feeds, event recordings, and rich media alerts.

Prerequisites​

Before proceeding, ensure you have:

  • ✅ A Zentik account
  • ✅ Scrypted installed and running
  • ✅ A bucket created with an Access Token generated

For detailed instructions on creating a bucket and generating access tokens, see Bucket Creation.

Create a Bucket with Access Token​

First, you need to create a bucket in Zentik and generate an access token:

  1. Create a new bucket in Zentik (or use an existing one)
  2. Navigate to your bucket settings
  3. Go to the Access Tokens section
  4. Click Generate New Token
  5. Copy both the Bucket ID and Access Token - you'll need both for the Scrypted configuration

Note: Make sure to save your Access Token securely, as it won't be shown again after generation.

Install the Plugin​

Install the Zentik Notifier plugin in Scrypted:

  1. Open your Scrypted dashboard
  2. Go to Plugins or use the plugin marketplace
  3. Search for "Zentik" or "Zentik Notifier"

  2. Add a Send Notification action
  3. Select Zentik as the notification provider
  4. Configure your notification message, title, and any additional options
  5. Test the automation to verify notifications are being sent

Testing​

To verify the integration is working:

  1. Use the Test button in the Zentik Notifier plugin settings, or
