Introduction
# Pushover Notify
Send push notifications through the Pushover API using a small Node script.
## Setup (one-time)
1) Create a Pushover application token and get your user key: - App token: https://pushover.net/apps/build - User key: shown on your Pushover dashboard
2) Provide credentials to the runtime (do **not** hardcode into this skill): - `PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN` - `PUSHOVER_USER_KEY`
3) (Optional) set defaults: - `PUSHOVER_DEVICE` (device name) - `PUSHOVER_SOUND`
## Send a notification
Use the bundled script:
```bash PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN=... PUSHOVER_USER_KEY=... \ node skills/pushover-notify/scripts/pushover_send.js \ --title "OpenClaw" \ --message "Hello from Ted" \ --priority 0 ```
Optional fields: - `--url "https://..."` and `--url-title "Open"` - `--sound "pushover"` - `--device "iphone"` - `--priority -1|0|1|2`
Emergency priority example:
```bash PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN=... PUSHOVER_USER_KEY=... \ node skills/pushover-notify/scripts/pushover_send.js \ --title "ALERT" \ --message "Something is on fire" \ --priority 2 --retry 60 --expire 3600 ```
## Notes
- If you need API field details, read: `references/pushover-api.md`. - For recurring alerts, prefer `cron` to schedule reminders; the cron job text can instruct Ted to run this skill.
