Sending Push Notifications on iOS

[seanmcnally]

Trying to get my Autohotkey script to send a notification to my iPhone. I found some code to do this using Pushover, but the post is from 2017, and doesn't seem to work. Is there a newer method? Thanks.

Here's the post I found:

Step 1: Sign up with pushover
Step 2: Purchase the app (around 4-5 euro for lifetime of use)
Step 3: Create an AHK file with the following code
Step 4: Obtain your "user key" from https://pushover.net/
Step 5: Replace €€€ in code with the newly obtained user key from step 4
Step 6: Create your token by clicking "Create an Application/API Token" from https://pushover.net/
Step 7: Replace $$$ in code with the newly obtained token from step 6
Step 8: Try replacing the ££££ and #### to create new push messages (link them to some variable from your script)
Step 9: Try changing the sound in the param or adding parameters from https://pushover.net/api

Code: Select all

title := "££££"
message := "####"

param := "token=$$$&user=€€€=" message "&title=" title "&sound=cashregister"
str =https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json

url_tovar(URL, param) { 
    WebRequest := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
    WebRequest.Open("POST", URL)
	WebRequest.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
    WebRequest.Send(param)
}

url_tovar(str, param)

It may be that the API has changed so the script is out of date, but it might also be that you didn’t follow all the steps prior to running the script correctly. Did you follow those steps including modifying the script accordingly?

Did you follow the direction of the subsequent post that corrected the script you quoted?

I remember back in the day I used this to push each sale from my ePOS to my phone so I would know the live Z-Reading. Then I switched over to Ragic and pushed data into neat tables for easier viewing. Maybe Ragic interests you.

I have since gotten Pushover to work, and it works very nicely. Note as I mentioned before that the quoted code has an error in it as was corrected in a subsequent post from that thread.

Older thread, but I've since found a better solution using the app Telegram.

Step 1) Inside telegram, go to https://t.me/BotFather and create a bot. Note the API key.

Step 2) Then go to https://t.me/RawDataBot and use it to find your personal Chat ID, so you can address messages to yourself. It'll look something like this:

Code: Select all

        "chat": {
            "id": XXXXXXXXX,

Step 3) You can now send messages to yourself via telegram using this command in Command Prompt

Code: Select all

curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot$API_KEY/sendMessage?chat_id=$CHAT_ID&text=hello%20world"

Replace $API_KEY and $CHAT_ID (deleting the $) with your actual api key and chat id.
Note that you'll need to do %20 for any spaces in your message.

Step 4) Now you'll just need to implement it into your AHK script. This will send a message when you hit the NumPadDiv key.

Code: Select all

NumPadDiv::
Run cmd.exe /c curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot$API_KEY/sendMessage?chat_id=$CHAT_ID&text=hello%20world",,hide
return
