Utilities
Publish tool output to chat and alerting providers.
overview
notify is the delivery stage after a scanner finishes. It takes another tool's output and posts it to a configured provider.
Set -provider and -id to route workflows to different channels. Use -bulk and -delay when a noisy run would flood a room.
Trickest runs notify as a managed Utilities node. Wire -data from an upstream FILE; the node writes a record of what was sent.
use cases
Send a scanner's output straight to a chat channel so the team sees a fresh CVE or exposure as a message instead of a buried file.
Use bulk mode to batch a results file into a compact summary rather than a stream, posting one digest at the end of a workflow.
Set the provider and id so different workflows post to different destinations, keeping recon noise and critical alerts apart.
Set a character limit and a rate limit so long output splits cleanly and a high-volume run does not flood or get throttled.

Use notify at the end of a workflow when findings should land in chat or email. It does not scan or discover; it delivers another tool's output. Prefer json2html or generate-yaml-report when you need a file report instead of a live alert.
Renders findings as an HTML report instead of pushing them to chat. Pick by whether you want a file or a live alert.
Builds a structured report from results. notify is for delivery to a platform rather than report formatting.
Captures output to a file for the workflow. notify takes that file and publishes it onward.
