A Pushover connection type and action for Umbraco Automate. Send Push notifications to Pushover as part of an automation workflow.
Pushover.net is a simple notification service that lets apps send real-time alerts to mobile and desktop devices.
This package is useful when you want instant operational alerts from Umbraco Automate workflows, for example:
- Umbraco Commerce new orders: play a "kerching" sound on your mobile device when a new order is placed.
- Backoffice moderation tasks: use a distinct alert sound on your mobile device when content is submitted for approval.
- General team notifications: route different events to different users or groups with different sounds and priorities.
dotnet add package SA.Automate.PushoverNo further setup required. The composer registers itself automatically via Umbraco's IComposer discovery.
In your Pushover account go to Your Applications → Create an API Token. Copy the access token.
Your User Key is shown on your Pushover dashboard. If you want to notify a group instead, create a group and use its Group Key instead.
Instead of pasting the values directly into the connection, you can reference values from appsettings.json (or an environment variable, Key Vault, etc.) using Umbraco Automate's configuration references:
{
"Umbraco": {
"Automate": {
"Secrets": {
"PushoverApiToken": "your-access-token-here",
"PushoverUserKey": "your-user-or-group-key-here"
}
}
}
}The connection's API Token and User/Group Key fields default to:
$Umbraco:Automate:Secrets:PushoverApiToken
$Umbraco:Automate:Secrets:PushoverUserKey
So adding the corresponding entries to appsettings.json is all that's needed to have them resolved automatically — no need to paste secrets into the backoffice.
- Go to Automate → Connections and create a new Pushover connection.
- Give the connection a name.
- Enter your API Token and User Key or Group Key (or leave the defaults to resolve them from appsettings, as above).
- Optionally set Retry and Expire — these apply to Max priority (emergency) notifications, which Pushover retries at the given interval (seconds) until acknowledged or until the expiry (seconds) is reached. Defaults are
60and1800. - Click Test connection to verify.
Tip: You can create multiple connections, with different API Tokens, User Keys, or Group Keys, to send notifications to different Pushover applications, users, or groups.
