Simple Prowl notifications for After Effects render completion I want to be able to receive push notifications to my iPhone when After Effects completes a render.

I used to use Prowl v1.5.2 &amp; Growl v2.1.3 combined with this script (.jsx file)to do this, but I can't get the script to work now. 

I can get growlnotify to send a notification from the terminal to Growl, and successfully pass it to Prowl on my iPhone, but when I tried this script, it fails at line 24.  I've added the API key, and chosen growl as the notification type.  Growlnotify is in usr/local/bin and my appname is set to Adobe After Effects CC 2015.

I don't need background rendering, just a simple notify when renders complete.

I'm using OSX 10.11.1 and iOS 9.2, and After Effects CC 2015 v13.6.0.165

Here's a script example, it's only two lines:

app.project.renderQueue.render();
function(){system.callSystem(“Open growlnotify")};


First line renders the queue (without any safety checking)
Second line should open growlnotify to send a default message

First line works, second line doesn't - it returns "Syntax Error".  I've also tried:

app.project.renderQueue.render();
function(){system.callSystem(“growlnotify")};
The script extract you include:

app.project.renderQueue.render();
function(){system.callSystem(“Open growlnotify")};


has a dodgy opening quote.  “ is not the same as " - this is why you are getting the syntax error.

app.project.renderQueue.render();
(function(){system.callSystem("Open growlnotify")})();


works (the (..)() calls the anonymous function). You need to add the parentheses so that the anonymous function gets called, or simply do system.callSystem("Open growlnotify"); without the anonymous function.

You also need to activate "allow scripts to write files and access network" in Preferences/General, otherwise callSystem is blocked.

In the full script you post, when you replaced type = "web" on line 24 to use growl, the same error probably slipped in.  Check your keyboard autocorrect settings to ensure that you've not got curly quotes.
