Pushover Action didn't work for first 24 hours. It works now. So, can KM trigger on this?

Questions & Suggestions

I successfully created a Pushover account on the Pushover.Net website, and all indications were that the KM Pushover action was working (because any text I sent using the KM Pushover action used one of the free 10,000 monthly messages) but not a single message created with the KM action was delivered to my Mac client until about 24 hours afterwards. Now they arrive instantly (~1 second) when I create/send a message with the KM Pushover action. I don't think I did anything on my Mac to have "enabled" the messages. But it appears that all the messages I sent yesterday have arrived today.

A 1 second delay is excellent. I'm very happy now. Yesterday I was not happy; I thought I was doing something wrong, but now I think it was not caused on my end. Either Pushover.Net needs 24 hours to activate an account fully, or their servers were down.

Now the next question I have is whether KM can "trigger" on an incoming notification from the Pushover app on my Mac. (Preferably with the text of the notification as the %TriggerValue%.) I suspect the answer is no. In that case, are there any alternatives like examining a system log file to see what notifications have arrived. If the answer to that is no, I may have to use some OCR wizardry to simulate a notification trigger.

I wasn’t aware of any way for KM to monitor the Notification Center, but a quick search of the forum led me to this post which indicates that it now is via AppleScriptObjC.

I don't know of any way Keyboard Maestro could trigger an action when receiving a Pushover notification. It's certainly an interesting idea.

[I added the following comment to that post]

It appears to me this is monitoring EKEventStoreChangedNotification which according to the documentation “is posted whenever changes are made to the Calendar database”.

So I don't see how this is related to notification center events…?

Thanks for the info, I didn’t delve into Chris’ post (and AppleScript ObjectC is beyond me anyway), so I wouldn’t have a clue how it works.
