How this automation works
Send immediate nearby eBird sighting details to your Pushover devices. When you add a new note to the Note widget, the Applet asks eBird for the nearest place someone reported the species named in your note and sends the closest sighting to Pushover. Great for birders who jot a species name in a Note widget and want quick location and checklist links from eBird delivered via Pushover.

Create your own workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
8 triggers, queries, and actions
Any new note
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires every time you submit any new note.
New bird observation at a hotspot
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when someone reports a bird at the eBird hotspot you choose. The results include birds reported at sub-locations of that hotspot.
New rare bird reported nearby
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when someone reports a rare or unusual bird near the location you choose. eBird marks a report as notable when the species is rare in that area, or appears at an unusual time of year.

This trigger fires when someone reports the bird species you name near the location you choose. eBird returns only the most recent sighting from each place, so each place gives you one sighting.
