PowerShell version

Same functionality as the Python scripts in the repo root, ported for running on Windows Servers via Task Scheduler without needing a Python install.

Setup

No dependencies to install — Invoke-RestMethod is built into Windows PowerShell 5.1+.

Uses the same .env file as the Python version (see ../.env.example); by default it looks for ..\.env relative to this script. Pass -EnvFile to point elsewhere, e.g. if you'd rather keep credentials outside the repo checkout entirely.

Usage

.\post_notices.ps1 -NoticeType 2 -OrgIds 3,4,5,6,7,8

-NoticeType: the Notification Type ID to post.
-OrgIds: comma-separated Organization IDs to post notices for.
-DeliveryOption: optional, defaults to 1 (Mail) — currently the only value Polaris accepts.

Same caveat as the Python version: every run sends real notices to real patrons, and there's no dry-run mode.

Task Scheduler

Action: powershell.exe Arguments: -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\path\to\PowerShell\post_notices.ps1" -NoticeType 2 -OrgIds 3,4,5,6,7,8

If your Windows PowerShell execution policy blocks unsigned scripts by default, -ExecutionPolicy Bypass on the scheduled task action avoids having to change the machine-wide policy.
