Not receiving Pushover notifications from 3rd party software/services

An ever-increasing number of applications, websites, libraries, and packages have integrated Pushover support to make your Pushover service more useful. As almost all of these are created and maintained by individuals and companies not associated with our company, we are unable to provide support for them when they do not work as intended, such as when you do not receive Pushover notifications from them.

Testing if the problem is with Pushover or the 3rd party app

From your dashboard (requires that you are logged into our website), enter a test message into the "Push Notification" area and click "Send Notification".

If you do not receive your test message on your device within a few minutes, please see Common Problems in the menu on the right.

If you do receive your test message, then your device and your Pushover service are working properly and the problem is with the 3rd party software or website you are using.  Before contacting the author of that software or service for support, double-check that you have entered your user key properly (which can be found on your dashboard and from within the Settings menu of your device client). It should be 30 characters long and not have any spaces.

Finally, if you do need to contact the 3rd party software author for support, let them know that you have successfully received test messages sent from our dashboard and that you have verified your user key.
