YipYap maps alert status to Pushover priority levels:

Alert StatusPushover PriorityBehavior
DownEmergency (2)Repeats until acknowledged.
DegradedHigh (1)Bypasses quiet hours.
RecoveredNormal (0)Standard notification.

Emergency priority notifications repeat every 60 seconds for up to 3 hours until the user acknowledges them in the Pushover app. You can customize the retry interval and expiry in the channel settings.

To notify multiple people, create a Pushover delivery group and use the group key instead of an individual user key. All members of the group will receive the notification.

You can optionally configure a custom notification sound in the channel settings. Pushover supports a variety of built-in sounds, or you can use the device default.
