Push2Run Setup for Pushbullet

Welcome to the Push2Run setup page for use with Pushbullet.

Of note, Push2Run is not released nor supported by Pushbullet.

This page explains how to setup Push2Run and control your Windows computer using a Google Assistant (Google Home, Google Mini, Google Max, or smart phone running Google Assistant), IFTTT, Pushbullet, and Push2Run.

The example below shows you how to open the Windows calculator on your PC or laptop (however, you can click here to find out how to run any program, batch or script file, open a file or website, restart or shutdown your computer, etc.):

What you will need, a:

1. Google Home, Google Mini, Google Max, or smart phone running Google Assistant

2. Windows computer

3. (free or paid) account with PushBullet

4. (free) copy of Push2Run

5. (free) account with IFTTT

What to do:

Now comes the part that's kind of like Mousetrap, here is how it all fits together ...

1.	Go to the Pushbullet website and sign on to your account,
2.	Click on 'Settings' in the left navigation bar,
3.	Click on 'Account' to the top left of the left navigation bar,
4.	Click on 'Create Access Token', and a box will appear containing your Pushbullet Access Token,
5.	Copy your Pushbullet Access Token into your Windows clipboard (i.e. select your Access Token with your mouse, right click, and select 'copy'),
6.	Install and run Push2Run on your PC or Laptop, When Push2Run is first run you should be prompted to setup up Dropbox, Pushbullet, Pushover, or MQTT; these instructions explain how to setup Pushbullet.
7.	On the Push2Run Options window, in the Pushbullet settings, check the option 'Enable Pushbullet' paste (i.e. right click and select 'Paste') your Pushbullet Access Token from your Windows Clipboard into the field named 'Pushbullet Access Token', copy what it says in the 'Title filter' field into your Windows clipboard, and click 'OK', note: by default your Title Filter will be loaded with 'Push2Run xxx' where xxx is your computer name. In the example below it says 'Push2Run ROBSPC' as my computer's name is 'ROBSPC'.

8.	Sign onto IFTTT Notes: a) if you don't already have an IFTTT account, you will need to click on 'Sign up' to create one; its easiest if you sign on using your gmail account via the 'Continue with Google' option b) if you haven't already linked your gmail account, click on the icon of a person's head (top right), click on 'Account' - from this window link your Google account to IFTTT; you should use the same google account you have linked to your Google Home/Mini/Max/device). You should also link your Pushover account; you will be prompted to do this in step 18.
9.	In IFTTT click on the icon of a person's head (top right), click on 'Create',
10.	On the IFTTT "Create your own" window, click on the "+ this" in the "if + this then that",
11.	In the search for services, search for "Google Assistant" and select it,
12.	Select "Say a phrase with a text ingredient",
13.	Complete the form as follows:

Note: do not use "Open $" as a phrase that you want to use, Google has this somehow reserved and it doesn't work with IFTTT.

14	Click on "Create trigger",
15.	Click on "then that" in the "if + this then that",
16.	Click on Pushbullet,
17.	Click on 'Push a note',
18.	Complete the IFTTT-Pushbullet 'Push a note', pasting the words you copied into your clipboard in step seven above, into the 'Title' field:

	Please note: If you have not linked your Pushbullet account to IFTTT before, you will be prompted to do so in this step. On the Push a note window, under where it says 'Message' you should see the words 'TextField' as shown in the screenshot above. If you see this great, you can move on to step 19 below. If however you don't see the words 'TextField' this then please press the 'Add ingredient' button under the box under where it says 'Message' (a button entitled to 'Add ingredient' shows up twice in the Push a note window, so be sure to click the one under the box under where it says 'Message'). Once you have done that, please click on the 'TextField' selection.
19.	Click on "Create action",
20.	Click "Finish",
21.	Give it a try by saying to your Google Assistant "OK Google tell my computer to open the calculator".
