Log, Pushover

 

SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro can be configured to send a Pushover message if a profile run fails and/or succeeds. Pushover messages can be received on a wide range of devices, e.g. iOS, Android, macOS and Windows. A Pushover message is similar to an SMS but without the costs. To be able to use this feature you must create a Pushover account.

 

If you use Pushsafer then you can send a message using webhooks. Use the dashboard in Pushsafe to create the URL and then paste it into the webhook URL (without any message).

 

warning

Note: Pushover has strict limits on the number of messages that can be sent per month. Those limits apply globally to SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro and are reset at midnight (Central U.S.) on the first day of each month. If that limit is met then no more messages can be sent by anyone until the limit is reset. SyncBack will limit how many Pushover messages you can send per day.

 

We strongly recommend that you create your own application token and use that. That way you can have your own limits which will be more than enough.

 

Send a Pushover message if the profile run fails: If enabled then a Pushover message is sent if the profile run fails.

 

Send a Pushover message if the profile run is a success: If enabled then a Pushover message is sent if the profile run is a success.

 

warning

A message will only be sent if the profile was not run manually and it was not a simulated run.

 

User/Group key: Enter your user key here, or optionally enter a group key for it to be sent to a group of people. Visit your account in Pushover to see your User Key and to create Group Keys. To make sure the key, and device, are correct click the Verify button.

oVerify: The Verify button will only be available if you have entered a User/Group key.

 

Device: This setting is optional. The default is to send the message to all the devices you have registered with the user/group key. You may choose to send the message to a specific device only. Click the Refresh button to populate the list.

 

oRefresh: The Refresh button will only be available if you have entered a User/Group key.

 

Title: This setting is required and is the title for the message. You can use variables, e.g. %PROFILENAME%. As the same title is sent on success or failure we recommend you use variables, e.g. %RUNRESULT%. The maximum length is 100 characters.

 

Message: This is the message to send and is required. You can use variables, e.g. %PROFILENAME%. As the same message is sent on success or failure we recommend you use variables, e.g. %RUNRESULT%. The maximum length is 500 characters.

 

Use my own application token: This setting is optional, but we recommend that you create your own application token to avoid the message limits set by Pushover. If you use your own application token then you can use the Test button to make sure the settings are correct.

 

oTest: The Test button will only be available if you have entered your own application token and entered a User/Group key.
