Unfortunately with this vendor, their marketing emails automatically match the user's email, which is what their notifications are based on...which is my pushover alias. While I hear an alert that one of my servers is down, it may just be a marketing email about their Super Bowl ad.

I can't find any literature about the current character limit for emails.

I use Apple Home to monitor sensors and trigger Pushover notifications via the API when certain thresholds are exceeded (e.g., temperature or humidity). The issue is that while the sensor value remains above the threshold, multiple API calls are made in quick succession, resulting in a flood of redundant notifications for what is essentially the same ongoing event. When the new webhooks feature was announced, I was hoping it would include some form of rate limiting or cooldown functionality to address this – but unfortunately, it doesn't.

Proposed Solution:

Add an optional cooldown/rate limiting feature for webhooks and API calls. This would allow users to define a cooldown period (e.g., 30 minutes) per webhook or application. After a notification is sent, subsequent calls from the same source would be suppressed for the specified duration. This setting should be configurable individually for each webhook or application to accommodate different use cases.

So the main reason I use it is for (home) alarm notifications or critical messages.
I use the alarm channel on my Android phone on volume 5. Altough this is too loud during night time.

So these features would be great to have:

• be able to specify the volume of priority messages during quiet hours
• increasing volume for messages with retry interval (start from volume to...)
• be able to disable vibration during quiet hours

The main reason for this request is that I do not want to wakeup my partner or even the whole house.

as a (Android) app user I am used to be able to swipe messages. 

In the message list, one should be able to mark/delete notifications, this is idea i298-option-to-swipe-right-and-mark-notification-in-app-as-unread.

Given a list of 3 notifications I would like to tap on let's say message A to open the message detail of A. After watching A I would like to swipe to the right to see notification B. I also want to be able to swipe left in details of B to show item A again. And so on.

So swiping in msg detail navigates through the message list without leaving the message detail! 

And: Thank you btw for the great product! 

When I load the page, I see the error:

An error occurred while trying to show a browser notification. To give Pushover permission to show notifications, click the icon next to the URL in the bar above and set "Notifications" to "Allowed" or "Always allow", then click the reload button.

And in the console: "Notification prompting can only be done from a user gesture."

The toolbar version of website settings doesn't show options for Notifications. In Settings > Websites > Notification, there is no listing for client.pushover.net, and the setting "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" is enabled.

So the request-on-load behavior will never work in most browsers, the error message is inaccurate, and Safari users have no way of manually granting permissions. Could you add a button to the page error message that calls askLocalNotificationPermission to request notifications?

This would allow even more devices to receive push notifications as applications with support for UnifiedPush are developed, provides an alternative for privacy-focused users, and helps avoid vendor lock-in to Apple's and Google's ecosystems.

I often read a message I need to follow up on later, but then forget it. Mark it as unseen, so it’ll show on the Pushover icon would help.

Either way, thanks for a great service for the past 10 years :)

Suggestion: please have an option to revert to showing all notifications if the app is newly opened or has not been used for some time.

Can you provide an API endpoint from where we can get the daily usage of an application?

Thanks
