SA.Automate.Pushover 1.0.6

SA.Automate.Pushover

A Pushover connection type and action for Umbraco Automate. Send Push notifications to Pushover as part of an automation workflow.

What is Pushover?

Pushover.net is a simple notification service that lets apps send real-time alerts to mobile and desktop devices.

What can this be used for?

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.

Installation

dotnet add package SA.Automate.Pushover

No further setup required. The composer registers itself automatically via Umbraco's IComposer discovery.

Setup

1. Generate a Pushover access token

In your Pushover account go to Your Applications → Create an API Token. Copy the access token.

2. Add the token and user key to appsettings (optional but recommended)

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.

3. Create the connection in the backoffice

1. Go to Automate → Connections and create a new Pushover connection.
2. Give the connection a name.
3. Enter your API Token and User Key or Group Key (or leave the defaults to resolve them from appsettings, as above).
4. 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 60 and 1800.
5. 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.

Usage

Add the Send Pushover Notification action to any automation and select your Pushover connection. Available fields:
