Sounds

You can pick a custom sound for each notification, so your messages can be subtle, alarming, or just plain fun. Choose from a list of built-in sounds, or set the default to keep things quiet. 🔊🎵

Why settle for a generic ding when your server outage could scream "SIREN!"? JustPush.io offers a variety of built-in sounds to give your notifications more personality. Whether you want a soft chime for reminders or an air raid siren for critical alerts, there’s a sound for every occasion.

• Customizable: Pick a sound from the our library sound library.

• Silent Option: Prefer peace and quiet? Set it to "none" for a vibration-only alert.

• Per-Message Control: Each notification can have a different sound.

Use Cases

Sounds help you instantly recognize the importance of a notification—whether it’s an emergency, a new sale, or just a friendly reminder. Here’s how you can use them effectively:

Good use cases

✅ Server Down Alert: Play "siren" to wake up in a panic. 🚨 ✅ New Order Received: Use "cashregister" to celebrate. 💰 ✅ Daily Motivation: Set "magic" for a little extra inspiration. ✨

Bad use cases

❌ Using "siren" for every notification. (Your nerves will hate you.) ❌ Setting "none" for critical alerts. (Don’t blame Pushover if you miss it.)
