Register a Pushover application
On pushover.net, go to "Your Applications" and click "Create an Application/API Token". Name it "WizStatus" and copy the generated API token.

Add the Pushover channel in WizStatus
Go to Settings > Alert Contacts, click Add Channel, choose Pushover, and paste your user key and API token. Optionally pick a priority, sound or device.
