| description | Send push notifications to your phone via Pushover (pushover.net). Use when you want reliable out-of-band alerts from OpenClaw: reminders, monitoring alerts, cron/heartbeat summaries, or 'notify me when X happens' workflows. |
Pushover Notify
Send push notifications through the Pushover API using a small Node script.
Setup (one-time)
- Create a Pushover application token and get your user key:
- Provide credentials to the runtime (do not hardcode into this skill):
PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN
PUSHOVER_USER_KEY
- (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

- For recurring alerts, prefer
cron to schedule reminders; the cron job text can instruct Ted to run this skill.
