Pushover
WebSite-Watcher can be configured to send Pushover messages when a bookmark has been updated. Furthermore for certain actions, for example when e-mails could not be sent.
Pushover messages are similar to SMS but without costs per message. Pushover messages can be received on a wide range of devices, eg. iOS, Android, macOS and Windows. If you're using WebSite-Watcher for example 24/7 on a server, then Pushover is a very quick way to get notified on your phone when a problem appears.
To be able to use this feature you need your own Pushover account. More information about Pushover can be found at www.pushover.net
