Connect DevHelm to Pushbullet to push incident notifications to your phone, browser, and desktop. DevHelm sends notes through the Pushbullet API — leave the device unset to broadcast to every device, or target a single one.

​
Setup

1

Create a Pushbullet access token

  1. Go to Pushbullet Settings → Account
  2. Under Access Tokens, click Create Access Token
  3. Copy the token — it’s shown only once
2

(Optional) Find a device identifier

To target a single device instead of broadcasting to all, list your devices and copy the iden value:
curl https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/devices \
  -H "Access-Token: o.your-access-token"
Leave deviceIden empty to push to every device on your account.
3

Create the alert channel in DevHelm

devhelm alert-channels create \
  --name "Pushbullet Alerts" \
  --type pushbullet \
  --config '{"channelType":"pushbullet","accessToken":"o.your-access-token"}'
4

Test the channel

devhelm alert-channels test <channel-id>

Configuration

FieldDescriptionRequired
accessTokenPushbullet access tokenYes
deviceIdenTarget device identifier; broadcasts to all devices if emptyNo

​
Troubleshooting

The access token is invalid or was revoked. Generate a new one under Settings → Account → Access Tokens and update the channel config. Tokens are invalidated if you reset access tokens on your account.
A stale or mistyped deviceIden causes pushes to silently miss. Re-list devices with curl https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/devices -H "Access-Token: ..." and confirm the iden, or clear the field to broadcast to all devices.
Pushbullet enforces per-account rate limits. If you hit them during a burst of incidents, space out test calls and rely on DevHelm’s incident-level (not per-check) notifications to stay within quota.
