Built not to slow your site
Notifications are queued and sent in the background (Action Scheduler when available, otherwise WP-Cron). If Pushover is briefly unavailable, PingPush retries up to three times. Duplicate events are filtered out.
For developers
- Custom hooks: enter any WordPress action name and a message template, and PingPush notifies you when that action runs.
- Filters: pingpush_should_send, pingpush_title, pingpush_message, pingpush_priority, pingpush_payload.
- Register your own events with PingPush_Events::register() on the pingpush_register_events action, and send them with PingPush_Events::trigger().
