# Declare a Pushover account in Link’nX: user key and API key

Context: Link’nX web: Pushover devices, with the Pushover option in the project and gateway

Declaring a Pushover account stores the recipient and Pushover application settings in Link’nX: a name, the user key and the API key. The [Pushover notification actions](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-pushover-action/) then use these accounts to send a text from a scenario.

Intended for the administrator or installer with access to the project, the gateway and the Pushover option.

## Before you start

- Have a Pushover account. The Link’nX form does not create an account with the provider.
- To receive notifications, each recipient installs the Pushover app. It requires a one-time purchase license per platform: Android, iPhone or desktop. Check the commercial terms of the service with Pushover.

## Get the user key and the API key on pushover.net

1. Sign in to your account on pushover.net. The key shown under **Your User Key** is the **User key** to enter in Link’nX.

2. In **Your Applications**, click **Create an Application/API Token**.
3. Fill in **Name**, for example “Link’nX”, check the box accepting the terms, then click **Create Application**.

4. The page of the created application shows **API Token/Key**: this is the **API key** to enter in Link’nX.

## Declare the account

1. Select the project and the gateway in Link’nX.
2. Open **Other → Pushover** in the device navigation, or search for **Pushover**. On a small screen, first open the navigation.
3. Click **Add**. The **Pushover account declaration** form opens.
4. Fill in **Name**, required, 64 characters maximum, for example `Fictitious notifications`.
5. Fill in **User key**, then **API key**, noted on pushover.net. Both fields are required and are not interchangeable. Do not use a key from another service.
6. Click the floppy disk at the bottom right and wait for **Success!**. The account appears in the list.

The keys may remain visible while you enter or edit them. Never share them by e-mail or in an unmasked screenshot.

## Edit or delete the account

1. Click the **Edit** pencil on the row. The form is then titled **Pushover account modification**.
2. Change the relevant fields, save with the floppy disk, then review the values.

If you leave a modified form without saving it, a confirmation appears: read it before confirming.

In the list, the **Delete** trash can opens a confirmation, described in [the lists and confirmations guide](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-lists/). First check the actions that use this account. Removing the declaration from Link’nX neither revokes the key with the provider nor cancels notifications already sent.

## Check the result

1. Click the **Edit** pencil on the row to review the name and check that the expected settings are present.
2. **Success!** confirms that the declaration is saved in Link’nX, not that Pushover accepts the keys or that a phone receives messages. To test sending, prepare an [action with its text and recipient accounts](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-pushover-action/), run it from a scenario and check delivery in the Pushover app.

## Troubleshooting

- The floppy disk stays disabled: check **Name**, **User key** and **API key**.
- The Pushover entry is missing from the navigation: follow [the context and options check](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-navigation/).
- The account is saved but no notification arrives: check the action, its text and its use by the scenario before changing the keys.

If these checks have already been done, contact support@can-nx.com with the context and the symptom, without attaching the keys.
