Pushover Integration

[Dominick]

Hi,

 

We were recently introduced to pushover via one of our support systems that integrated this in an update and I really like it,

You simply get a notification on your phone about all kinds of messages or changes. I believe this would also be a great feature for  blesta for example when support request need an answer or when orders are placed.

 

See https://pushover.net/

we have plan to introduce this feature for our internal plugins/modules , but we havn't decided wich service we will use . we have 2 choice

 

https://console.rzlts.com/

 

https://www.parse.com/

 

both are free

 

personnaly i have a lot of work to do toi finnish my new environement in v3 and migrate from 2.5 .

 

i hope i can find it already implemented by someone . (Hello PauloV )

I love the idea, hate the rate limiting! haha Thanks for the link though! Good find!

 

I'd been considering doing a version of this in Node.js with my IRC & Twitter bots, just not a top priority atm..

I love them idea we used something on our old billing system and when I asked them about Blesta they said there's not enough demand hopefully one pops up because it is very nice

+1 for this also

This does seem like a very nice service, push notifications would be great. How it should be implemented is another question.

 

Ultimately, any new types of notification methods should likely be modular and tied into the core. Then, if pushover is available (or another method), they would be available to plugins to use if they like -- such as the order plugin, or support plugin. The plugins would then add options for notifications through pushover.

 

A little involved, but probably the best way to do it. Thoughts?

Not sure but it would be nice to receive alerts for:

- Orders

- Support tickets

Hi,

 

I am not familair with the other two alternatives given by @naja7host,

I know pushover because my hoster starts using it and in their control center I have these options:

- Support, receive notification (  ) yes, to device: all, or select device

- Billings, receive notification (  ) yes, to device: all, or select device

 

In my case I setup billing notification to only notify my macbook (which I use for accounting) and the support for my iphone.

I also asked them why they went for pushover instead of something else and my hoster explained to me, since they also server international clients in different time zones they wanted a solution that allowed users to set a schedule when to receive and when not to receive push. For me, in the case of Blesta, I also think this would come in handy. This is on default integrated in the apps of pushover.

Hipchat is one such service. Super popular and maintained by Atlassian.
