Message Priority
Every message has a priority. Higher priorities mean more important messages. Clients can use it to decide how intrusive a message is presented.
Setting the priority
Set the priority when pushing a message:
bash
$ curl -H "X-Gotify-Key: <apptoken>" "https://push.example.de/message" -F "message=my message" -F "priority=8"When a message is pushed without a priority, the default priority of the application is used. It can be configured in the WebUI by editing the application.
How clients handle priorities
Android
The Android app maps priorities to notification behavior:
| Notification | Priority |
|---|---|
| No notification | 0 |
| Icon in notification bar | 1 - 3 |
| Icon in notification bar + Sound | 4 - 7 |
| Icon in notification bar + Sound + Vibration | 8 - 10 |
WebUI
The WebUI shows a browser notification for every message and additionally plays a notification sound for messages with priority 4 or higher.
