To accomplish this, we recommend using Pushover, a reliable and user-friendly third-party service. You can find more information about Pushover at: https://pushover.net/


Pushover is compatible with Android, iPhone, iPad, and desktop browsers. With Automatic Email Manager, you can receive unlimited push notifications on all your devices.
