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.
To add Instapush to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: instapush
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
app_secret: YOUR_APP_SECRET
event: PUSH_TO_EVENT
tracker: TRACKER_NAME
```
{% configuration %}
name:
description: Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
required: false
default: notify
type: string
api_key:
description: Your API key for Instapush.
required: string
type: string
app_secret:
description: The secret for your created application.
required: string
type: string
event:
description: The event to push to.
required: string
type: string
tracker:
description: The name of tracker inside Instapush.
required: string
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
To retrieve the needed values for existing settings, log into your account at [https://instapush.im](https://instapush.im) and go to your **Dashboard**. Then click the **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*.
Assuming that your setup looks look in the image below...

</p>
...then your entry for the `configuration.yaml` file needs to be like this sample.
```yaml
notify:
platform: instapush
[...]
event: msg
tracker: state
```
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"}}' \

```
