Love ’em or hate ’em, mobile push notifications can be very useful. They are not as intrusive as a phone call and have better information formats and control than text messages. Which is why it can be very frustrating to not get push notifications for your favorite product because it doesn’t have a mobile app. In this post, we will see how to get mobile push notifications from any service, even if they don’t have a mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will use Pushover<\/a>, which has mobile apps for iPhone and Android phones. You should first check if your favorite product integrates with Pushover by checking their list of integrations<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the product you want is not in Pushover’s list of integrations, you can use Zapier<\/a> to send information to Pushover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zapier helps you connect multiple apps together to create your own workflows. Zapier integrates with thousands of apps so it’s very likely that your app is in the list. For example, you can connect Twitch to Philips Hue so your light turns on when your favorite gamer starts a live stream (yes, you can actually do that). We will do something more basic – getting a push notification when a new row is added to a Google sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
