pushmoi

Send message through Pushbullet

Pushbullet is a pub/sub service for cross device data exchange.

Getting started

You need to authorize this client to perform Pushbullet actions on your behalf.

Execute pushmoi init and follow the instructions on the command line.

pushmoi will setup a web server at tcp:8080 and await OAuth response.

Upon success you should see your access_token on the web UI.

Check back at the command line to review initialize status.

Fist step: Review registered devices

Once we had a successful authorization, we can go review our settings and profile by executing pushmoi ls.

Here is an example output:

+------------------+---------+-------+--------+
|       NAME       |  TYPE   |  SMS  | ACTIVE |
+------------------+---------+-------+--------+
| Asus Nexus 7     | tablet  | false | true   |
| Motorola Nexus 6 | phone   | true  | true   |
| Chrome           | browser | false | true   |
+------------------+---------+-------+--------+

Second step: set default push target (Recommended)

Setup your default target my executing pushmoi set default [device name], which you found by pushmoi ls

Review your setting by running pushmoi get default

Last step: push a message

There are two ways to push a message:

• Raw text message
• Message formated by template and context

Execute pushmoi . [your text message] for raw text message.

Note that the message itself is treated as a single argument, so quote where necessary.

Execute pushmoi [template file] [raw text | json encoded string] for templated message

The syntax for our template is documented under html/template

Execute your-command-or-script | pushmoi [template file] - to force pushmoi to consume stdin.

Note that there is a limit on the size of the payload encforced by Pushbullet.

Select a target

There are four ways to select your target:

• default
• email
• device name
• all of your registered devices

If you push message without specification, pushmoi pushes to your default push target. If a default is not designated, all is used.

All of your registered devices

pushmoi --all [template] [message]

To a device

pushmoi --device [name] [template] [message]

Email

pushmoi --email [email] [template] [message]

Update your settings

If you registered or removed devices, you should update your settings by executing pushmoi sync

If you had revoked pushmoi permission, or that the access_token was lost, you should execute pushmoi init to restart authorization.
