Hey there, I'm trying to use webhooks by Zapier to trigger push notifications with the app Pushover. When a message comes in from a guest or potential guest, I want my apple watch to notify me. I'm struggling getting the App I made in the Zapier Developer area connected with owner rez, and it seems to be an issue with the endpoint urls I'm using. That's what I think at least. Could someone provide me with the following information?
- What is the Authorization Url?
- What is the Access Token Request Url? The API endpoint URL where Zapier sends the approval code on user redirect, typically via POST
, and receives access_token
in the response.
- What is a good API endpoint URL to test authentication credentials, ideally one needing no configuration such as /me
.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Michael,
Good News! We just released Push Notifications this past week. In fact it is so new, we haven't even officially announced it yet!!
No need to set up a 3rd party app! Subscribe to our built-in push notifications on your phone!

We believe if you are subscribed with the phone your watch is attached to, those notifications should pass over to the attached watch.
I found this apple doc that may help with that as well:

Give it a try and let us know how it works for you!

Hey Steve! That is amazing! So glad this is an accessible feature, I’ve already got it up and working. That being said, I would still love the correct api information to utilize other strategies, would you be open to sharing the correct links?
The whole point of Zapier is you don't need the API Endpoints and webhook information. Zapier takes care of those things for you. Kind of like developer lite mode. lol
Our Zapier documentation is here:
https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/zapier
And Zapier has a tool that can get you started when connecting two apps. Here is the link for Pushover+OwnerRez:
https://zapier.com/apps/pushover/integrations/ownerrez
If you want to truly use Webhooks and API calls though, that would first require you to set up an OATH connection to OwnerRez.
For most clients that are developing just a stand-alone app to connect OwnerRez to, you would use a Personal Access Token. However, webhooks don't work with the Token setup and only work with OAuth apps.
All the documentation for setting up a connection to the OwnerRez Open API can be found here:

Hope that helps you get started!
