Windows notification with button using python

Question

I need to make a program that alerts me with a windows notification, and I found out that this can be simply done with the following code.

I don't care what library I use

from win10toast import ToastNotifier
toast = ToastNotifier()
toast.show_toast("alert","text")

This code gives that following alert

However, I want there to be a button on the notification so I can click it and it will lead me to a url.

Like this example.

Is this possible?

I just found this website about toast contents can anyone help me use this with python?

Answer 1

This type of behavior is not supported in the currently released version of Windows-10-Toast-Notifications. However, a contributor created a pull request that adds functionality for a callback_on_click parameter that will call a function when the notification is clicked.

This has yet to be merged into the master branch, and given how long it's been since the library has been updated, I wouldn't count on it happening anytime soon. However, you can still install this modified version of the library to make use of this feature:

• First, you'll need to uninstall the current version of win10toast from your environment (e.g., pip uninstall win10toast).
• Next, you'll need to install the modified version (e.g., pip install git+https://github.com/Charnelx/Windows-10-Toast-Notifications.git#egg=win10toast).

Then, you can create a toast like this:

toast.show_toast(title="Notification", msg="Hello, there!", callback_on_click=your_callback_function)

A complete working example:

from win10toast import Toast

toast = ToastNotifier()
toast.show_toast(title="Notification", msg="Hello, there!", callback_on_click=lambda: print("Clicked!"))

When you click on the notification, you should see "Clicked!" appear in the Python console.

Important: This will only work if you're using the modified version of the library I mentioned above. Otherwise you will get the error: TypeError: show_toast() got an unexpected keyword argument 'callback_on_click'.

You should try Zroya.

Example:

import zroya

status = zroya.init(
    app_name="NotifyBot",
    company_name="MyBotCorp",
    product_name="NoBo",
    sub_product="core",
    version="v01"
)

if not status:
    print("Initialization failed")


# zroya is imported and initialized
template = zroya.Template(zroya.TemplateType.ImageAndText4)
#Adds text:
template.setFirstLine("Example notification")
#Adds the button
template.addAction("Ok")

zroya.show(template)

Here is what I have found.

For installing the library:

pip install winotify

The code that you are looking for:

from winotify import Notification, audio

toast = Notification(app_id = "Notification",
                     title = "Alert",
                     msg = "Text",
                     duration = "long",
                     icon = r"FullPath.ico"
                     )

toast.set_audio(audio.Mail, loop=False)

toast.add_actions(label="URL Button", launch = "https://stackoverflow.com")

toast.show()

"FullPath.ico" is the full path of the file to put an icon to the notification.

To do this you can press "Ctrl + Shift + Right Click On Mouse" on the icon file and click on "Copy as path". Then paste it into the double quotation marks instead of "FullPath.ico".
