Notifications
The Pushbullet notification platform sends messages to Pushbullet
Usage
Pushbullet is a notify platform and thus can be controlled by calling the notify action as described here. It will send a notification to all devices registered in the Pushbullet account. An optional target parameter can be given to Pushbullet to specify specific account’s devices, contacts or channels.
Type | Prefix | Suffix | Example |
---|---|---|---|
Device | device/ |
Device nickname | device/iphone |
Channel | channel/ |
Channel tag | channel/my_home |
email/ |
Contact’s email address | email/[email protected] |
|
SMS | sms/ |
Contact’s phone number | sms/0612345678 |
If using targets, your own account’s email address functions as ‘send to all devices’. All targets are verified (if exists) before sending, except email.
