Get Push Notifications for Every Zabbix Problem

Log in to the Pushinator Console and create a channel (e.g., "Zabbix Alerts"), or open an existing one.

Open the channel's API & Integrations tab, click Add webhook, give it a name, and set the scheme to Zabbix, then submit.

Pushinator immediately shows a table of Parameters and a ready-to-paste Script with your signing secret already baked in - unlike Grafana or a generic webhook, there's no separate secret to copy: Zabbix has no signing convention of its own, so the script itself handles it. Copy both, you'll paste them into Zabbix next.

In Zabbix, go to Alerts → Media types → Create media type, give it a name (e.g., "Pushinator"), and set Type to Webhook.

On the Parameters tab, add the entries Pushinator gave you — the values are Zabbix macros like {EVENT.STATUS}, which Zabbix fills in for every real problem.

On the Script tab, paste the script Pushinator generated.

Before saving, add a Message templates entry for both Problem and Problem recovery — this isn't a Pushinator-specific quirk: Zabbix requires a template to exist for every operation type a media type is used for, no matter which media type it is. It's easy to skip for a webhook, since our script never reads the subject or message, but Zabbix still refuses to send anything without one. The subject and message text don't matter — anything non-empty works.

Save the media type, then use the Test button from the media types list to confirm it works before moving on.

Go to Users → Users, open a user, and go to the Media tab. Click Add and pick the media type you just created. Zabbix still requires a value in Send to even though the script doesn't use it — your username or something like pushinator works fine.

Create or edit a trigger action under Alerts → Actions → Trigger actions. Add any conditions you want (e.g. severity or host group), and under Operations, add Send message to users, pick the user you just configured, and restrict Send only to to your new media type so it doesn't also fire your other configured media.

Install the Pushinator app from the App Store or Google Play, then scan your channel's QR code to subscribe. From now on, problems and their resolutions arrive as push notifications, e.g. "Zabbix Alerts | 🔴 PROBLEM: High CPU load on web-1 (High)".
