Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

I also tried the message test shown above and this is the result

DB=@-1, PATH=temp_Drive_0.jpg

I'd suggest removing these unused entries as well:
--form-string "device=YOUR_PUSHOVER_DEVICE_NAME(S)_HERE"
--form-string "sound=YOUR_PUSHOVER_SOUND_HERE"

Sorry user is there - I deleted it when I deleted the pertinent info

https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json

-s --form-string "token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --form-string "user=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --form-string "message=<b>&CAM</b> &MEMO <a href='&WAN/alerts/&ALERT_DB?fulljpeg'>Hi-Res</a> <a href='&WAN/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB'>UI3</a>" --form-string "html=1" --form-string "device=YOUR_PUSHOVER_DEVICE_NAME(S)_HERE" --form-string "sound=YOUR_PUSHOVER_SOUND_HERE" -F "attachment=@I:\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH"

Is 'Drive' the short name of the camera you are testing?

Blue Iris creates a temp JPG when you are not saving hi-res JPGs (Alert tab) or using 'Burn mark-up mark-up on alert images' (unchecked on the AI configuration tab).

These temp files are short-lived; therefore the URL links using them are ephermeral. They will not work, or will show the wrong image immediately after a new alert is created.

More here, here, and here.

EDIT: The 3rd link above has this 'paraphrased' suggestion ... In the Run a program/Write to file Alert action, try checking 'Wait for process to complete (up to 30 seconds)'. This prevents the action set from completing while the curl command is still transmitting the temporary image to the push service.

Drive is the cam name. I'll read the other links
I am saving jpgs in a Jpgs folder. Should I use that instead of the Alerts folder?

if you mean this setting, these JPGs are stored in the Alerts folder.

You should use the path is assigned the Alerts folder in the Settings > Storage folder...

 

[George M]

OK, thats I;/Alerts
I was also saving jpgs in another folder on the Record page. I guess I don't need to do that..

 

[jaydeel]

The AI markup JPGs, if you are using them, are also stored this folder.

 

[George M]

Im not currently using AI

So have you tried this yet?

In the Run a program/Write to file Alert action, try checking 'Wait for process to complete (up to 30 seconds)'. This prevents the action set from completing while the curl command is still transmitting the temporary image to the push service.​

I did check that.
I appreciate your help on this. I'm being yelled at because the family is going to dinner. I'll have to leave but maybe I can connect with you tomorrow.
