Send Notifications from n8n Self-Hosted

First, log in to the Pushinator Console and create a channel (e.g., "n8n Alerts"). Obtain an API token and save it for later use (it will be your main credential in Pushinator n8n node).

Install the Pushinator app from the App Store or Google Play on your devices. Use the app to scan your channel’s QR code and subscribe your devices to notifications.

Follow the official n8n guide for installing community nodes from the GUI or from the command line to install the Pushinator node in your self-hosted n8n instance.

Replace n8n-nodes-nodeName with n8n-nodes-pushinator when installing our node, for example when installing from the command line:

npm install n8n-nodes-pushinator

After installing the Pushinator node, you can start using it in by going into your workflow, clicking the plus icon and searching for Pushinator. You should see something like this:

After adding Pushinator to your workflow, you will see something like this:

Now you will need to connect your account. Click "Select credential" -> "Create new credential" and paste the API token you saved before.

If the token you provided is correct, you will see a badge saying "Connection tested successfully"

After connecting your account, you’ll need to select a notification channel for sending notifications. Use the “Channel Name or ID” field — it will retrieve your channels and display their names, allowing you to choose one.

After choosing the notification channel, you only have to fill in the notification field and that's it! You're ready to send push notifications from your self-hosted n8n workflows!
