Overview
This node integrates with the Pushinator service to send push notifications to specified channels. It is useful for automating alerting, messaging, or notification workflows where you want to notify users or systems via Pushinator channels. For example, you can use it to send real-time updates about system status, user activity alerts, or any custom messages to a group of subscribers on a Pushinator channel.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel Name or ID | Select a Pushinator channel from a dynamically loaded list or specify a channel ID using an expression. |
| Notification | The text content of the notification message to be sent to the selected channel. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the Pushinator API after sending the notification. This typically includes details about the notification delivery status and metadata returned by the API. The output is structured as an array containing one JSON object.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pushinator API.
- Makes HTTP requests to
https://api.pushinator.com/api/v2/endpoints. - The node uses the "fetchChannels" method to dynamically load available channels from the Pushinator service.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing API key: If authentication fails, ensure that a valid API key credential is configured.
- Channel not found or invalid channel ID: Verify that the selected channel exists and the ID is correct.
- Empty notification content: Sending an empty notification may result in errors or no action; ensure the notification text is provided.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems with the Pushinator API endpoint will cause request failures; check network access and API availability.
