     backup:
   
       pushover_app_token:
       pushover_user_key:

3. Ctrl+X Y Enter to save.

Tip: If you have a Mediabox/Feederbox setup, you can create 2 different applications within Pushover specify "Mediabox Backup" and "Feederbox Backup" as their names.

Cloudplow can send notifications when it:

• starts an upload task.
• is put into a ban sleep.
• is restored after a ban sleep.
• completes an upload task.

To setup notifications, follow the steps below:

1. Edit the Cloudplow config.json file:

   nano /opt/cloudplow/config.json
   

2. Type in your Pushover User Key and the Application Token within the quotes ("").

    "notifications": {
        "Pushover": {
            "app_token": "XXXXXXXXXXX",
            "service": "pushover",
            "user_token": "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
            "priority": 0
        }
    },

3. Ctrl+X Y Enter to save.

4. Restart CP after changes: sudo systemctl restart cloudplow.

Pushover can send notifications whenever an event occurs in Plex Requests (e.g. media is requested by someone).

• Plex Requests -> Admin -> Notifications -> check "Enable Pushover notifications" and type in your Pushover User Key and the Application Token (you can click the "Test Pushover" to check if it's working ok) -> Click "Update Settings".

Pushover can send you notifications whenever an event occurs with Plex (e.g. someone starts watching something, new media is added, etc)

1. Enable notifications: PlexPy -> Settings -> Notification Agents -> Click the gray "bell" icon next to "Pushover" -> and select when you want to be alerted -> Click "close". The "bell" icon will turn yellow.

2. Add in your Pushover info: Click the "gear" icon next to "Pushover" -> Type in your Pushover User Key and the Application Token (you can click the "Test Notification" to check if it's working ok) -> Click "Save".

You can also have Sonarr and Radarr also send out alerts via Pushover when new media is added.
