Typical Use Cases

Not sure how to integrate PushGo? Here are some popular ways our community uses the platform.

1. Server & NAS Monitoring

If you have a home server or a NAS (Synology, QNAP, Unraid), you can get notified about critical system events.

• Disk Full: Run a simple cron job that checks disk space and sends a critical message if it exceeds 95%.
• Backup Finished: Add a curl command at the end of your backup script.
• UPS Status: Get notified when your power goes out and the server switches to battery.

2. Home Automation (Home Assistant)

PushGo integrates perfectly with smart home systems like Home Assistant.

• Door/Window Alerts: Receive a message when a door is left open for more than 5 minutes.
• Environment Monitoring: Use the Thing model to represent a room, syncing temperature and humidity data in real-time to the PushGo app’s dashboard.
• Security: Get rich notifications with snapshots from your security camera when motion is detected.

3. DevOps & Development

Keep track of your automation pipelines without constantly checking GitHub or GitLab.

• GitHub Actions: Add a step to your workflow to notify you when a build fails or a deployment is successful.
• Long-running Jobs: Running a video transcode or training an AI model? Have the script send a message once it’s done.

4. Personal Notifications

• Price Alerts: Write a script to track the price of a product and notify you when it drops.
• Webhooks: Use services like IFTTT or Zapier to forward events (like a new email from a VIP) to your PushGo channel.
