In order for AutoPkg runs to happen automatically, use AutoPkgr to set a schedule.

  1. Switch to the Schedule tab.

    Schedule

  2. Set the schedule for automatically running recipes. Many people like to set this for once per day.

    ⚠️   Selecting "Update all repos before each AutoPkg run" exposes you to some risk, and isn't generally recommended unless you unconditionally trust the contributors to the repos you subscribe to.

Configuring notifications

  1. Switch to the Notifications tab.

    Notifications

  2. Configure email, Slack, Teams, Google Chat, or HipChat notifications as desired.

NOTE: Don't forget to check Enable macOS notifications too. These pop-ups are often handy for troubleshooting.

To avoid unwanted notifications, you can customize which AutoPkg events trigger a notification to be sent. To do this, go to the Notifications tab and click the Customize... button next to Choose which actions trigger notification.

You can choose to be notified on all events, or you can select a subset of events you care about and ignore the rest.

When you're done, click Close.
