> I've been able to do things like automatically create albums from my Signal backup

Interesting, would you mind elaborating on how you do that? I take it you have your backup key stored on your home server then? What tool do you use to decrypt & parse the backup?

Sure! I make Signal backups on my Android device, sync them to my home server via FolderSync, and then run a nightly script that uses signalbackup-tools[1] to extract media from my family group chats and upload them to my immich server via their CLI.

Couldn't you simply select the Signal folder that contains the media and let Immich monitor changes
