Pushbullet is an app that makes connections between your devices. Using pushes, you can transfer links and notes from one device to another.

Pushbullet works as an browser extension and app, and is currently available for Android, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. You need to install the app (Android) or extension (browsers) for the push functionality to work.

Visit the [Pushbullet apps page](https://www.pushbullet.com/apps) to check if a specific device is supported.

## Connect

1. On the My pipelines page, select **Create Pipeline**.
2. Search for or select a step, and then select it to add it to the pipeline. When you add a step to a pipeline, it is added to the canvas of the pipeline designer.
3. Expand the Connection section of the step, and add the required information.

### Connect to Pushbullet

1. Expand **Pushbullet** and select **Connect to Pushbullet**. ![Pushbullet connection panel showing the Connect to Pushbullet button](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472966384276.png)

## Reconnect

You may need to reconnect your account to a channel. Reasons may be (but not limited to):

- If you need to connect a different account.
- Authorization updates, such as a changed password.
- Editing the access rights that Pipelines has to the channel.

To reconnect:

1. Select a pipeline that already has this channel in it.
2. Open a step that contains this channel.
3. Under account, select **Connect (or reconnect)** and follow the process above, [Connect](/v1/docs/pushbullet-channel#how-to-connect). ![Step configuration panel showing the Connect (or reconnect) button](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/17569202988052.png)

## Steps

### Push options

When you create a push, there are some options:

1. Drag the create option and create a push. ![Pipeline canvas showing the create push option being dragged](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472966392852.png)
2. Select the type of the push you want to create. There are two options: **Note** and **Link**. ![Push type selector showing Note and Link options](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472959853076.png)
3. Depending on the option you choose, your options vary. If you choose **Note**, these are your options: ![Note push configuration fields: Device, Email, Channel Tag, and Client](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472944017428.png) If you select **Note**, you have available 4 fields: **Device**, **Email**, **Channel Tag**, and **Client**. If you do not select a field the push will be sent to all your devices. If you select a single field, the push will be sent only to that choice. If you choose **Link**, these are your options: ![Link push configuration fields showing URL and target options](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472973747348.png)

## Limits

The following are the known limit in Pushbullet.

### Push limits

Free Pushbullet accounts, without a Pro subscription, are limited to 500 pushes per month. You will get an error if you exceed 500 pushes per month.

## Examples of usage

The following is an example of a use of Pushbullet. In this Opportunities table in our Quickbase app:

![Quickbase Opportunities table with Estimated Value field highlighted](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472951482004.png)

When an Estimated Value field in the Opportunities table is updated, we want a note with the new Estimated Value to be pushed to Firefox.

First we create a trigger, **Record Updated**, and enter the Account and Table fields and then choose the fields to trigger.

![Pipeline trigger configuration showing Record Updated step with Account and Table fields](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472951515156.png)

Then we create a Push and we enter a target in the Body field.

![Create Push step configuration with Body field filled in](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472960009236.png)

After the pipeline runs we see these results:

![Pipeline run results showing successful push notification sent](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472960042772.png)![Create Push step configuration with Body field filled in](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4472960009236.png)

and the end result is:
