--- title: Send push notifications with Pushover description: "The Pushover Notifications module sends a phone alert next to selected Ultimate Membership Pro emails: to you for admin events and to members who add their Pushover user token." url: "https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/pushover-notifications/" updated: "2026-10-18" category: "Emails & Notifications" --- # Send push notifications with Pushover 6 minIntermediateUltimate Membership Pro 14.2+ · Module In Ultimate Membership Pro, the Pushover Notifications module sends a push alert to a phone through the Pushover app whenever a chosen email notification goes out. You can get an alert for every new sign-up or payment, and members can get alerts for their own emails. This guide connects Pushover, adds a push message to a notification and shows members where to enter their Pushover token. Before you start - Your license is active. Modules only switch on with an active license; see [Find and activate your license key](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/where-to-find-your-license-key/). - A [Pushover account](https://pushover.net/) (pushover.net) and the Pushover app on your phone. - The email notifications you want alerts for exist and are active. See [Set up email notifications](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/how-to-send-notifications/). ## Create a Pushover application 1. Log in at pushover.net and open Create New App. 2. Give it a name, for example Coaching Club, and set the type to Application. 3. Copy the API Token/Key it shows. Copy your own User Key from the Pushover dashboard too. ## Switch on the module and add the tokens 1. Go to Ultimate Membership Pro*›*Modules and open **Pushover Notifications** (in the Notifications & Marketing group). 2. Switch on **Activate/Hold Pushover Notifications**, fill in the fields and click Save Changes. [![Pushover Notifications settings switched on, with App Token, Admin Personal User Token, URL and URL Title filled in, and the setup steps](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-pushover-01-module.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-pushover-01-module.png) The module settings. 1App TokenRequired The API Token/Key of your Pushover application. 2Admin Personal User Token Your own Pushover User Key. Alerts for Administrator notifications go to this device. 3URL A link shown under every alert, for example your [Member Portal](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/features/member-portal/). 4URL Title The text of that link. Default Sound for mobile notification In the **Notification Sound** box below: one of 15 Pushover sounds. Default: **Bike** ## Add a push message to a notification 1. Go to Ultimate Membership Pro*›*Email Notifications and edit a notification, for example Payment confirmation received - Order Completed for the administrator. 2. Open **Pushover Mobile Notification** under the message and switch on **Send Pushover Mobile Notification**. 3. Write the **Pushover Message:** and click Save Changes. [![Pushover Mobile Notification section switched on with the message Payment received: {first_name} {last_name} renewed {level_name}.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-pushover-02-notification.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-pushover-02-notification.png) This section appears on every notification while the module is on. Send Pushover Mobile Notification Sends the push alert each time this email is sent. Default: **Off** Pushover Message: Plain text, up to 1024 characters. Template tags work, for example {first_name}. The email subject becomes the alert title. ## Let members add their token Alerts for member notifications go to the member's own Pushover account, so each member enters their User Key once: 1. Go to Ultimate Membership Pro*›*Member Portal and, in **Member Portal Menu**, switch on **Show in Portal** for the **Pushover Notifications** tab. 2. Keep **Show Pushover Form** on in that tab's settings and save. [![Member Portal tab Pushover Notifications with a User Token field and a Save Changes button](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-pushover-03-member.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-pushover-03-member.png) What members see in their Member Portal. To put the same form on another page, use [the shortcode](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/shortcodes-reference/): Pushover token form ``` [ihc-account-page-pushover-form] ``` ## Limits and gotchas Good to know - A push alert is sent only together with its email: the notification must exist, be active and be sent. There are no push-only notifications. - Administrator notifications go to the Admin Personal User Token; member notifications go to members who saved a User Token. Members without one get only the email. - Alerts are sent with Pushover's [emergency priority](https://pushover.net/api): the phone repeats the alert every 5 minutes, for up to an hour, until it's acknowledged in the Pushover app. ## Example: a phone alert for every payment **Payment alerts for the owner**The owner's phone buzzes when a member pays. **Activate/Hold Pushover Notifications** : On **App Token** : From the Coaching Club app at Pushover **Admin Personal User Token** : The owner's Pushover User Key **URL** : https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/ **URL Title** : Open Coaching Club **Notification** : Payment confirmation received - Order Completed (Administrator) **Pushover Message:** : `Payment received: {first_name} {last_name} renewed {level_name}.` ## Troubleshooting Why don't I see the Pushover section on a notification? The section only appears while the Pushover Notifications module is switched on. Why does the email arrive but no push alert? Check that Send Pushover Mobile Notification is on for that notification and that the message isn't empty. For admin alerts, check the App Token and the Admin Personal User Token; for member alerts, check that the member saved a User Token. Why does the alert keep repeating? The plugin sends alerts with emergency priority. Acknowledge the alert in the Pushover app to stop the repeats. ## What's next [**Set up email notifications**The emails the alerts go with.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/how-to-send-notifications/)[**Set up the Member Portal**Tabs and content of the member area.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/set-up-the-member-portal/)[**Get a weekly summary email**A Monday report for admins.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/get-a-weekly-summary-email/)[**Change the sender name and email**Admin addresses and reminder timing.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/change-sender-email-address/)
