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:

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:

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.
