Simplify Notifications with Web Push and Curl

Why Web Push Notifications?

Web push notifications offer a lightweight, browser-based alternative for delivering critical alerts directly to your device. They’re ideal for DevOps monitoring, home automation, or any scenario where you need timely updates without the complexity of installing additional apps or services.

Here’s why you should consider web push notifications:

• Cross-Platform: Works seamlessly across browsers and devices.
• No Installation Required: Leverages the W3C Notifications API, eliminating the need for additional software.
• Simple Setup: A single curl command is enough to integrate it into your projects.

Use Cases

1. For DevOps:
   Integrate with tools like Grafana, Prometheus, or InfluxDB to notify you when thresholds are breached, systems go down, or metrics deviate unexpectedly.

2. For Home Automation:
   Get notifications for:

   • Door locks and window status changes.
   • Temperature warnings from smart thermostats.
   • Unexpected activity in security systems.

3. General HTTP-Enabled Projects:
   Trigger browser alerts from any project that supports HTTP webhooks or REST API calls.

How to Use Web Push via Curl for Instant Notifications?

Using the clipush service, you can send web push notifications with a simple curl command. Once your browser is subscribed, you’ll receive real-time notifications.

Step 1: Subscribe for Notifications

1. Open the clipush website in your browser.
2. Allow notifications when prompted.
3. Copy the personalized curl command displayed on the site.

Step 2: Use the Curl Command

Send alerts directly from your terminal:

curl -X POST https://clipush.deno.dev/send \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
      "subscription": "your-subscription-id",
      "title": "System Alert",
      "message": "CPU usage is over 90%"
  }'

Step 3: Automate Alerts

Integrate the curl command into scripts or monitoring tools to automate notifications:

• Grafana Alerts: Add a webhook target to execute the curl command.
• Prometheus Alertmanager: Use the webhook receiver to trigger notifications.
• Smart Home Systems: Configure automation tools (like Node-RED) to execute the curl command based on smart device triggers.
