Email to alert

Some tools can only send email: NAS boxes, UPS units, routers, old monitoring systems. Give them your ZapaPUSH address and every email becomes an alert.

Your address

Every key has its own address, like alert+3f9c2a7b51e04d8a6c11@zapapush.com. It's separate from your send key, so you can put it into a device's settings without exposing the key.

To get yours:

• In the app, Settings → Email me my key: the email includes your alert address.
• Or ask the API with your key:

curl -H 'X-ZapaPush-Key: YOUR_KEY' https://api.zapapush.com/inbox

What happens

• The Subject is the alert's title. The same subject again updates the open alert instead of buzzing again, like the Send API.
• The text of the email is the description, with the sender on the first line. HTML-only emails are converted to plain text.
• Out-of-office and other automatic replies are ignored.

Limits

• Each email counts as one post towards the 60-per-minute limit. Over the limit, the email is bounced with "Too many alerts for this address".
• Emails over 1 MB are bounced.
• Mail to an unknown address is bounced.
