Notifications (PRO)

Notifications send matching events to an outside system in real time. Available with Logify Pro.

Find it at Logify > Settings > Notifications.

Destinations

Each destination has its own settings card with the same filter and rate-limit controls.

Email

Recipients — one email per line.
Send For Event Types, Minimum Severity, and Rate Limit as below.

Slack

Webhook URL — paste an Incoming Webhook URL from your Slack workspace.
Posts a colour-coded attachment with the severity label, event description, user, IP, action, and object.

Generic Webhook

Webhook URL — POST endpoint that should receive a JSON body.
HMAC Secret (optional) — if set, the request body is signed with HMAC-SHA256 and the digest is sent in the X-Logify-Signature header so downstream systems can verify authenticity.
The body has the shape { site_url, event, sent_at }.

Syslog (UDP)

Host — the syslog collector hostname. Use local to write via PHP's openlog/syslog instead of opening a network socket.
Port — defaults to 514.
Logify maps its severity scale to RFC 5424 syslog levels automatically.

Filters and Rate Limits

Every destination accepts the same filter set:

Send For Event Types — pick which event categories qualify. Empty means "all types".
Minimum Severity — drop the floor for which events trigger a send.
Rate Limit (seconds) — minimum gap between sends. 0 disables rate limiting.

This lets you wire low-noise critical-only alerts to Slack while sending the full firehose to a syslog collector — and the rate limit makes sure a brute-force burst doesn't generate fifty Slack messages.

Failure Handling

Every network call uses a 5-second timeout. If a destination fails, the failure is swallowed silently — notifications never block the originating WordPress request.

Notes

Notifications fire from the kc_lf_post_insert_activity_log action, which runs as Logify's batched-write queue is flushed at request shutdown. They don't add latency to user-facing requests.
All notification logic lives in the pro/ module. The free plugin does not include this subsystem.
