Pushover

Push with native repeat-until-ack on emergency priority.

Where to get it

A Pushover account (one-time app fee) + an application token.

Install / what you need

No install. Register an application at pushover.net → copy the API token + your user key.

How to connect

1. 1 Create an application at pushover.net → copy the API token.
2. 2 Open the dashboard's Notifications panel → Add destination → choose pushover, fill in the token + user key.
3. 3 Hit Send test on the destination card — emergency priority repeats until acked.

When you'd use it

Herald hands every alert to the PushoverAdapter as a DispatchPlan. The fields below are what the dashboard form asks for; the sample is the plan the adapter receives. The adapter renders it into the channel-native shape (Discord embeds, Teams MessageCards, PagerDuty Events-API payloads, TwiML, JSON POST bodies) on the way out — that wire transcript varies per channel.
