I have a self-hosted ntfy instance and I am gradually building a bare-bones mobile app to display my notifications.

I am publishing by POSTing as JSON. Is it possible for the ntfy server to send all the data fields that are included in the JSON? I would like to pass data in custom fields. Makes sense?

If this does not exist, is it possible to make a feature-request?

    Got it. Yeah no that’s not supported. I have thought about adding that many times, but nobody’s asked for it so far.

    I’d probably call them extras though or something, so it’d be:

    {
 "topic": "1234", 
 "message": "foo",
 "title": "bar",
 "extras": {
   "customField": "baz"
 }
}

      That would work great! So anything sent under "extras" would be forwarded verbatim to the mobile app.

      Is it too much trouble to implement?
