Unread Messages - Realtime Notification

[JoSch87]

Hi,
I need the number of unread messages of a user in a Python script. Preferably as a real-time push notification.

What I have achieved so far:

1. Query the number of messages via the API. (Pull Request)
2. Notification of new messages via outgoing webhook integration.

However, I do not receive a push notification when a message is read. How can I achieve this?

The entire message is also transmitted. The number of messages would be enough for me. Or that something has changed and I can execute the pull request.

Some background on your server might help.

Some code and settings to demonstrate what you are doing might help too.

Logs might show some more information.
