Select Alerts under Chatting. HexChat doesn't come with sounds configured so if you also want a sound alert you can configure those. The default Windows sound effects are located in C:\\Windows\\Media. For getting Push Notifications on your Android phone you can use a service called Pushover. They give you 30 days to try it with no limitations and it only costs one time payment of $5 for it if you decide to keep using it. I personally use it for notification integration via a variety of apps I use through its notification API. They also give you an email address for your Pushover account (@pomail.net), so when someone sends an email to that, you receive the email in the form of a push notification your phone.

You'll need to select Python 3.6 support when you install (or re-install if you didn't select this before) HexChat under "Language Interfaces" support when you get to the installation options part. It will automatically download the Python 3.6.4 installer and launch it when you select it, so you'll now be running 2 installers. The default installation settings for Python 3.6.4 don't need to be changed, so just click on "--> Install Now" and let it complete the install. Here's the HexChat Pushover plugin: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olivergs/hexchat-pushover/master/he xchat\_pushover.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olivergs/hexchat -pushover/master/hexchat_pushover.py) Save this into C:\\Users\\\\AppData\\Roaming\\HexChat\ \addons\\hexchat\_pushover.py for it to autoload. You still need to edit the .py file in Notepad or your text editor of choice in order for it to work. Complete these lines in the file by putting the appropriate values in between the single quotes: PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN='' PUSHOVER_USER_TOKEN='' For PUSHOVER\_USER\_TOKEN, you'll find it after logging into [https://pushover.net](https://pushover.net) at the top where it says "Your User Key". For PUSHOVER\_APP\_TOKEN, you need to go to [https://pushover.net/apps/build](https://pushover.net/apps/build) and enter a name - "HexChat" is fine - and after creating it you will be given an "API / Token Key" for it. That's what you'd put here. Now Run HexChat and under the server log tab you should see Python interface loaded Pushover alert plugin loaded Test out the notification by getting your irc nick mentioned, and as a result you should get a push notification on your phone through Pushover. The last thing to note is that you need the command line app "curl" installed in order for it to work, and Windows 10 (via an update in 2018) as well as Windows 11 comes with it preinstalled. If you're still using an older Windows version then you'll have to install a Windows version of which I won't cover since I assume you're running at least Windows 10. If you want to test if you have curl installed, launch Command Prompt and run "curl" and you should get a response recommending you to run curl --help since you didn't give it appropriate parameters. For the hell of it I tested this out myself before posting this reply to your question so I've verified it works as intended. If it doesn't work for you then something wasn't done right. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheTechRobo · 2022-08-16 21:33 Question for HexChat notifications: Can I conditionally say "yes, notify me" for specific times? I don't want highlighted users or words to send notifications or even play the sound, but I do want to get notifications when my nick is mentioned. However, I only want that to take effect when certain processes are open. I figured I might be able to do that with Lua. Is there a way?
