The instapush platform uses [Instapush](https://instapush.im) to delivery notifications from Home Assistant to your Android or iOS device.
The Instapush [Getting Started page](https://instapush.im/home/start/) will guide through the process of creating the required items.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: instapush
# Get those by creating a new application, event, and tracker on https://instapush.im
api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
app_secret: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
event: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
tracker: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
```
Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created.
The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service
`notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
To retrieve those values for existing settings, log into your account at https://instapush.im and go to your **Dashboard**. Then click **APPS** tab, choose an app, and check the **Basic Info** section. The *Application ID* is the ``api_key`` and ``app_secret`` is the *Application Secret*.
It's easy to test your Instapush setup outside of Home Assistant. Assuming you have an event *notification* and a tracker *home-assistant*, just fire a request and check the Instapush dashboard for a new entry.
```bash
curl -X POST \
-H "x-instapush-appid: YOUR_APP_KEY" \
-H "x-instapush-appsecret: YOUR_APP_SECRET" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"event":"notification","trackers":{"home-assistant":"Switch 1"}}' \
https://api.instapush.im/v1/post
```
For further details, please check the [API](https://instapush.im/developer/rest).
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page]({{site_root}}/components/automation.html).
