Setting up NTFY to get Push Notifications

Configure NTFY integration to receive push notifications for backup start, success or failure events. ntfy is a simple push notification service that lets you send notifications to your phone or desktop via topics.

Step 1: Configuring NTFY Integration in Pluton Settings​

Before you can use NTFY notifications in your backup plans, you need to configure the NTFY auth token in Pluton's Integration settings.

  1. Navigate to Settings → Integrations tab
  2. Select the Ntfy tab
  3. Fill in the required fields:
FieldDescription
Auth TypeAuthentication type (currently supports Token)
Auth TokenYour ntfy access token for authentication
  1. Click "Validate & Connect" to save your NTFY settings
Getting an ntfy Access Token

If you're using the public ntfy.sh server, you can create an access token from your ntfy.sh account. If you're self-hosting ntfy, generate a token via the ntfy CLI:

ntfy token add --expires=never --label="Pluton"

Step 2: Configuring NTFY Notifications in a Backup Plan​

Once the NTFY integration is set up in Settings, you can enable push notifications for individual backup plans.

  1. Open your Backup Plan and go to Advanced → Notifications
  2. Toggle Enable Ntfy Push Notifications on
  3. Select when to send notifications from the Send Notification On dropdown:
    • On Start — when the backup starts
    • On End — when the backup ends (for both success & failure)
    • On Both Start & End — when the backup starts, succeeds or fails
    • On Success Only — when the backup succeeds
    • On Failure Only — when the backup fails
  4. Enter your Ntfy Push URL — this is the topic URL where notifications will be sent (e.g., https://ntfy.sh/mytopic)
  5. Optionally, add Tags to categorize your notifications (e.g., warning, daily-backup)
  6. Save your Backup Plan
note

If you see a warning saying "Ntfy Auth Token is not configured", go back to Settings → Integrations → Ntfy and complete Step 1 first.
