A workflow event needs an actionable alert on a device 2. Agent selects a predefined notification and its overrides 3. Agent confirms device names with List Devices 4. Agent confirms the notification name is defined in Pushcut 5. Agent sends the alert with Send Notification 6. Agent records the notification for reference 7. Running an Execute Action that triggers a physical scene waits for approval ## What This Integration Enables An agent can send a predefined, actionable notification to your devices from any workflow, overriding its title, text, image, sound, and action buttons at send time. It can trigger a Shortcut, activate a HomeKit scene, or run a Pushcut automation on a device, optionally after a delay. It can also fan out server-side webhooks by subscribing an external URL to a Pushcut action, so tapping a button fires a workflow. List Devices and List Notifications confirm connectivity and surface the names other steps need. ### Without FlowRunner **Plain, passive alerts**: A notification arrives with no buttons and no way to act on it **Manual device triggers**: Someone taps a Shortcut or scene by hand when an event occurs **Taps live outside flow**: A physical button has no way to reach an automated workflow ### With FlowRunner **Actionable notifications**: Alerts carry buttons, images, and tap actions that open a result **Automations run in flow**: Shortcuts and scenes fire automatically when an event fires **Taps wired into flow**: A Pushcut button calls a FlowRunner webhook through a subscription ## Use Case Scenarios ### Actionable completion alert A long-running workflow finishes. The agent uses Send Notification to deliver a time-sensitive alert to the operator's phone with a tap action that opens the result, overriding the predefined notification's title and text with the run's specifics. The person acts on the alert directly from the notification rather than hunting for the output. ### Tap-to-workflow wiring A team wants a physical button on a phone to kick off an automated process. The agent uses Add Subscription to tie a Pushcut action to a FlowRunner webhook URL. From then on, tapping that button calls the webhook and starts the workflow. List Subscriptions confirms the wiring, and Remove Subscription tears it down when it is no longer needed. ### Physical scene with a gate A monitoring workflow wants to activate a HomeKit scene, for example turning on lights when an event occurs. Because Execute Action produces a real-world side effect on physical devices, the agent stops at the human-in-the-loop step and asks for confirmation before it runs the scene. ## Human-in-Loop Highlight A notification is a message; an Execute Action that fires a HomeKit scene or a Shortcut changes something in the physical world. Before the agent runs an Execute Action that triggers a scene or automation with a real-world effect, it pauses and routes the decision to an operator: "Ready to run the After Hours HomeKit scene on the office devices. Confirm, or cancel?" This is FlowRunner's human-in-the-loop pattern, where the agent pauses on its own, names the exact action and target, and resumes when the human answers. Sending an actionable notification happens without interruption. Firing a physical automation gets a human decision first. Agent processes routinely Detects exception requiring judgment Clear match Continues automatically Ambiguous Routes to human via preferred channel Human decides Agent resumes with decision ## Agent Capabilities 7 actions ### Notifications 2 - **Send Notification** Sends a predefined notification, identified by name, to your Pushcut devices, overriding its title, text, image, sound, actions, and target devices at send time. Used for rich, actionable alerts with tap actions and buttons. - **List Notifications** Lists the notifications defined in the Pushcut app, returning each name and identifier. Used to find a valid name for Send Notification. ### Execute 1 - **Execute Action** Runs a Shortcut, activates a HomeKit scene, or triggers a Pushcut automation on your devices, with an optional input, delay, and target devices. Used to drive on-device automations, including physical scenes. ### Devices 1 - **List Devices** Lists the devices connected to your Pushcut account, returning each id and name. Used as a connection check and to discover device names for other actions. ### Subscriptions 3 - **Add Subscription** Creates an API subscription that calls a given URL whenever a named Pushcut action is triggered, returning the subscription id. Used to wire a tap into a FlowRunner webhook. - **List Subscriptions** Lists active API subscriptions, each with its action name and URL. Used to review which taps are wired to which workflows. - **Remove Subscription** Deletes an API subscription by its id, stopping its webhook from firing. Used to unwire a tap that is no longer needed. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What can FlowRunner do with Pushcut? FlowRunner agents can run Send Notification, List Notifications, and Execute Action in Pushcut, plus 4 more actions. ### Does connecting Pushcut to FlowRunner require OAuth? No. Pushcut connects to FlowRunner with an API key, no OAuth flow required. ### Can Pushcut trigger a FlowRunner workflow automatically? Pushcut doesn't currently expose triggers in FlowRunner. It connects as an action step inside workflows started by another trigger. **Work at Pushcut?** This integration exposes Pushcut to AI agents on every FlowRunner plan, including through MCP, at no cost to you.
