Push notification card in web app

Am i correct that an out-of-the-box Homey Pro Mini does not allow adding a push notification card in an advanced flow being created in the desktop web app? When I try to add a THEN card, the Mobile section does not list any push notification cards. Do I need to add an app? I would like to send a text message to a phone number.

No, imho these are onboard flow cards.
Are you sure you selected Then and not When?

Did you install Homey app on a phone (not solely on a tablet)?

This is available (Pro 2019):

Or just use the search bar:

Peter, the first image you’ve sent is the one I see. But all of the information I’ve seen so far has the card labeled ā€œPush Notificationsā€ not ā€œMobileā€. And, in any case, who is USER? I’d like to be able to send a text message to the phone number of my choosing. Thanks, so far. - I’m using a just-purchased Homey Pro Mini.

Hi John,

Well, ā€œsend Push notificationsā€ is another description for ā€œsend text to a Homey users’ phone, using Homey technologyā€.
[User] is a selection field, you can select one of your Homey users after you inserted the card to a flow.

A valid user for these cards is a Homey account added to your Homey, along with the logged in mobile Homey app installed on a phone.

.

That’s only possible with additional Homey apps, like CallMeBot or SMS and such;
App store query for messaging apps:

OK, Peter. I’ll see what I can do. My first stab at testing a flow using SEND . . . TO hasn’t resulted in anything coming to my phone, but I’ll keep trying to figure this out. Thanks for your answers.

John, probably the Homey app needs some permissions?

Well, all is fine now. I either got the thing confused with all of my trying to get it right, or I didn’t wait long enough before testing after making a change. Maybe I didn’t click SAVE on the flow page. Who knows. The permissions were already set correctly. And having the Homey app installed on the other phones I want to send notifications to works fine, so I won’t need to get another app involved. Thanks again for your advice and explanations, Peter. My biggest hang-up was probably not understanding why my card does not match what I’ve seen online (Push Notifications).

YW, John.
Yea sometimes things get changed along the way, but the documentation isn’t. Or only after a long time / after enough complaints :grimacing::wink:

I only noticed now they’ve changed it to ā€˜Mobile’.
But searching for ā€˜mobile’ in the flow card picker doesn’t return the notification cards as results :face_with_peeking_eye:
