What is Pushover Notify?
The Pushover Notify skill acts as a bridge between your automated tasks and your physical mobile devices. By integrating this capability, Openclaw Skills can deliver critical alerts, status updates, and system heartbeats directly to your pocket. This ensures that even when you are away from your terminal or IDE, you remain informed about the progress and health of your autonomous operations.
Built on a lightweight Node.js foundation, this tool handles the complexity of the Pushover API, allowing for granular control over notification behavior. Whether you are managing complex deployments or simple reminders, leveraging this within the ecosystem of Openclaw Skills provides a reliable out-of-band communication channel for any developer environment.
Pushover Notify Use Cases
- Receiving instant alerts when long-running AI agent tasks complete or require manual intervention.
- Monitoring system health and getting heartbeats from scheduled cron jobs running Openclaw Skills.
- Delivering high-priority emergency notifications when critical errors are detected in automated workflows.
- Routing specific task summaries or reminders directly to a mobile device for review.
How Pushover Notify Works
- The user obtains an API token and user key from the Pushover dashboard.
- Environment variables are configured to provide secure access to the Pushover API without hardcoding credentials.
- The AI agent or a system script invokes the bundled Node.js utility with message parameters like title, priority, and sound.
- The script executes a secure request to Pushover servers, which then push the notification to the registered devices associated with the user key.
- If configured for emergency priority, the skill can manage retry and expiration logic to ensure the user acknowledges the alert.
Pushover Notify Setup
To get started with this integration in your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
- Create a Pushover application token at https://pushover.net/apps/build.
- Note your User Key from your Pushover dashboard.
- Set the required environment variables in your runtime environment:
export PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN="your_app_token"
export PUSHOVER_USER_KEY="your_user_key"
- (Optional) Set default notification settings:
export PUSHOVER_DEVICE="your_device_name"
export PUSHOVER_SOUND="pushover"
Pushover Notify Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill utilizes a command-line interface to pass data to the Pushover API. The following parameters are supported for notification data organization:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--title |
String | The heading of the notification (e.g., "OpenClaw Alert"). |
--message |
String | The main body content of the push alert. |
--priority |
Integer | Priority levels: -2 (silent), -1 (quiet), 0 (normal), 1 (high), 2 (emergency). |
--url |
String | A supplementary URL to be sent with the message. |
--url-title |
String | The label for the attached URL. |
--retry |
Integer | Used with priority 2; how often (seconds) to resend the alert. |
--expire |
Integer | Used with priority 2; how long (seconds) the alert remains active. |
Pushover Notify Advanced Features
- Emergency Alerting: Configure level 2 priority to bypass silent modes and require manual acknowledgment, complete with retry and expiry logic.
- Custom Sound Mapping: Assign specific audio alerts to different types of triggers to identify the severity of a task from Openclaw Skills by sound alone.
- Deep Linking: Include interactive URLs and URL titles in notifications to jump directly from a push alert to a specific log, dashboard, or repository.
- Multi-Device Targeting: Explicitly define which of your registered devices should receive the alert using the device parameter.
