Pushover

The Pushover destination sends alerts to the Pushover app on your devices. You need a Pushover account and your user key.

Connect Pushover

Get your user key

Install the Pushover app and sign in. Your User Key is shown on your Pushover account page.

Open Destinations

Click Destinations in the sidebar, then Add Destination, then choose Pushover.

Enter the keys

Field	Required	Description
User key	Yes	Exactly 30 letters and digits.
API token	No	The token of your own Pushover application, exactly 30 letters and digits. Leave empty to send through UptimeIO’s shared application.

Choose events and save

Toggle which events are pushed (all are enabled by default; at least one must stay enabled), use Test to send a test notification, then assign the destination to monitors in each monitor’s Notifications section.

Pushover destinations can only be set up from the dashboard. An API key cannot create one: POST /api/integrations with "type": "PUSHOVER" returns 403 with code JWT_REQUIRED and the message

Pushover and Telegram integrations can only be set up from the dashboard. Sign in to the dashboard and add the integration there.

Once it exists, you can assign it to monitors through the API with notification_target_ids.

Pushover works well for on-call alerts. Enable only “Monitor goes down” and “Monitor recovers” to keep your phone quiet.
