Sending Pushover Notifications from Shortcuts on iOS

The Shortcuts app for iOS can be used to send Pushover notifications by sending HTTP requests to our API.  These shortcuts can be run manually or automatically in response to an Automation, such as "send a message when a HomeKit action happens".

Open the Shortcuts app, and tap the + button.

Tap the Add Action button.

Tap Web.

Then select Get Contents of URL.

Tap on the URL, and enter https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json and change the Method to POST.

Tap Add new field and add new fields for each required API parameter, such as token, user, message, etc.

For certain fields such as message and subject, you may wish to insert variables which can be taken from other Shortcut actions to chain actions together.
