Connecting Viewers to Pushover

Automations & Integrations

Get instant push notifications on your phone when new leads come in. Pushover sends alerts directly to your mobile device - no need to check dashboards or email. Your phone buzzes, you see the lead, you follow up.

This integration is available on all plans, including Free.

How It Works

When a lead is captured on your site, Viewers sends a push notification to your phone via Pushover. You’ll see the lead’s name, email, company info (if enriched), and their message - all in a quick glance.

Perfect for solo operators, small teams, or anyone who wants to respond to leads immediately.

What You’ll Need

A Pushover account (https://pushover.net)
The Pushover app installed on your phone (iOS or Android)
Your Pushover User Key
A Pushover Application API Token

Pushover costs $4.99 one-time per platform (iOS, Android, Desktop) after a 30-day free trial. There’s no monthly subscription for individuals.

Step 1: Create a Pushover Account

Go to https://pushover.net/signup
Register and log in
On your dashboard, find your User Key (a 30-character code)
Copy your User Key - you’ll need it later

Step 2: Create an Application

Go to https://pushover.net/apps/build
For Name, enter: viewers.com
For Type, select an appropriate option (e.g., “Script” or “Application”)
For Icon, download our icon and upload it (optional, but makes notifications easy to identify)
Click Create Application
Copy the API Token/Key that appears

Step 3: Install the Pushover App

Download and install the Pushover app on your mobile device:

iOS: App Store
Android: Google Play

Step 4: Configure in Viewers

Log in to your Viewers dashboard
Go to Automations
Find Pushover and click to configure
Paste your User Key (identifies you as the recipient)
Paste your Application API Token (identifies the Viewers app)
Configure your options (see below)
Save your settings

Configuration Options

Contact Types to Sync

Choose which modules should trigger push notifications. You might want all lead types, or only specific high-priority ones.

Available modules:

For example, if chat messages require immediate attention but newsletter signups can wait, only select Chat.

Notification Type

Control which leads trigger notifications:

All Valid Emails Get notified for all contacts with verified email addresses. Use this if you want to see every lead the moment it comes in.

Enriched Leads Only Only get notified for contacts with enriched company/contact information (company name, phone, website, etc.). This filters out personal email addresses and unidentified leads.

Use enriched-only if you only want to be interrupted for qualified B2B leads.

What the Notification Looks Like

When a lead comes in, you’ll get a push notification with:

Lead name and email
Company name (if enriched)
Their message or response
Which module captured them

Tap the notification to see full details.

Best Practices

Be selective with contact types If you’re getting too many notifications, narrow it down to high-intent modules like Chat or Contact Us. You can still see all leads in your dashboard.

Use “Enriched Leads Only” to reduce noise If personal email signups aren’t worth interrupting your day, filter them out. Only get buzzed for leads with real company data.

Set up Pushover quiet hours In the Pushover app settings, you can configure quiet hours so you’re not woken up at 3 AM by a lead from another timezone.

Pair with other automations Pushover is great for awareness, but pair it with CRM or email automations for follow-up. Use Pushover to know instantly; use HubSpot or Zapier to actually work the lead.

Troubleshooting

Not receiving notifications?

Double-check your User Key and API Token are correct
Make sure the Pushover app is installed and you’re logged in
Verify notifications are enabled in your phone’s settings for the Pushover app
Check that the integration is saved and enabled in Viewers
Confirm the lead type you’re testing is selected in “Contact Types to Sync”

Getting too many notifications?

Switch to “Enriched Leads Only” to filter out personal email signups
Uncheck modules that don’t require immediate attention
Use Pushover’s quiet hours feature

Notifications stopped working?

Your Pushover trial may have expired - purchase the app to continue
Your API token may have been revoked - create a new one at pushover.net
Check Pushover’s status page for any service issues
