I’ve never experimented with this, but if you are using an iPhone, check out “iOS App Deeplinking” in the Help PDF

That looks normal.
You can disable the popup via a user setting.

Is there a macro to get the LAN IP address instead of the WAN address? I use tailscale to connect to my server and I can use the local addressess.

Just checked the help PDF, chapter 'Alerts and Actions', section 'Timecodes and other Macros'...
Perhaps I'm overlooking it, but I don’t see it listed. Try macro
&LAN, it works in my testing.

Thanks &LAN actually works. I did check the manual and only found &WAN.

Good.
I've emailed Ken as an FYI.
I haven't found a way. But I made two macros in the main settings using %8 and %9. Those two contain everything I need to use in the alert. So if I ever need to change the lan IP, there's only one place I need to do it. I had to use two because it was too long to have in one.
Right at the end of the October, my notifications being process dropped markedly, and all but stopped yesterday. The traffic at my gate has certainly not decreased, so I don't know what parm is missing or what update may have caused issues.
All was humming along nicely until now. And it's been so long since I set all this up (per the first post) that I don't recall how to properly troubleshoot. I know for certain though, that the triggers (IR sensor at my gate which has Home Assistant push http syntax to BI to trigger the camera) BI just fine. The camera triggers, but Pushover is doesn't know about it.

From the curl Action, please check your 'Parameters' field and confirm the Attachment value accurately reflects your current Alerts folder path.
If everything looks OK, then try my 'msg.exe trick' to confirm the macros are resolving correctly.
Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks
I've figured out how to send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks from Blue Iris Actions without using external scripts. This approach uses curl and the Pushover API, and provides functionality similar to that recently described for Telegram . EDIT (5/16/2022) - For those who...
Thanks for the quick reply. Prior to reading your response, I narrowed it down to the -F parm located between the tugboat sound and the attachment.
If I remove that F, I get the instant notification when I click "trigger now" on the main BI console screen. I don't get the thumbnail in the pushover app, but if I click through on either the hyper links, it opens to the triggered event just fine.
For some reason it's doesn't like the -F parm - or whatever action it's calling for, isn't working
I'm going to try what you suggested now.
Code:
https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json -s --form-string "token=CENSORED" --form-string "user=CENSORED" --form-string "message=<b>&CAM</b> &MEMO <a href='http://CENSORED/alerts/&ALERT_DB?fulljpeg'>Hi-Res</a> <a href='http://CENSORED/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB'>UI3</a>" --form-string "html=1" --form-string "device=motorolaedge" --form-string "sound=tugboat" -F "attachment=@E:\BINAS\BIStorageHere\Alerts\a248\&ALERT_PATH"For some reason it's doesn't like the -F parm - or whatever action it's calling for, isn't working

The path is correct - using file explorer I walked to the path and confirmed all my alert images are there.
As for the testing, I am triggering a test by right-clicking in the console on the camera and clicking "trigger now". Alternatively, from UI3 on a client PC, I do the same thing on the web interface. Both result in an immediate notification (sans thumbnail when -F is not in the action set).
Attempting to set up mesg trick now.

Very good. Are you using AI on this camera, and using it to confirm alerts? If so, perhaps something has changed?
No, AI is not enabled for this camera.
The message trick when using the lightning bolt to test shows this:
And when I click the actual preset from within the console, I get the same:
And this is how I have the message trick configured on preset 9 for the camera:

'fnf' = file not found
This is why you are not receiving notifications.
Is there a space after 'E:' in your attachment path?

Just noticed the &ALERT_DB macro is resolving to '@-1'.
I saw that recently when my database was corrupted by v5.8.0.9. Maybe time for a DB/Repair or DB/Regenerate?

Not that I can see. Here's the full action parm:
The thing is, I haven't touched that path in months and it just suddenly stopped working.
Also, adding the above to cmd window with --verbose at the end will not produce any results. If I remove the -F argument, it will debug.
Code:
https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json -s --form-string "token=REDACTED" --form-string "user=REDACTED" --form-string "message=<b>&CAM</b> &MEMO <a href='http://REDACTED/alerts/&ALERT_DB?fulljpeg'>Hi-Res</a> <a href='http://REDACTED/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB'>UI3</a>" --form-string "html=1" --form-string "device=motorolaedge" --form-string "sound=tugboat" -F "attachment=@E:\BINAS\BIStorageHere\Alerts\a248\&ALERT_PATH"Also, adding the above to cmd window with --verbose at the end will not produce any results.

Ah, that could well be. I will delete and rebuild the db. Will report back. TY!

Curious if you are using Artificial Intelligence on your Trigger qualifiers? You may be getting a triggered event but running it through AI before the alert is sent. And if this is the case then if AI doesn't meet the conditions required to send the PushOver alert you'll never see it. The best way to check this is look at your alerts. If "nothing found" then no PushOver alert if this is how you have it configured. See below....top one, no PushOver alert....bottom one, yes.
