# Pusher for Realtime Notifications
|
|
|
|
Pusher is a third party service being used to power the [chat system](https://dev.to/connect).
|
|
|
|
In order to use the chat functionality within your development environment,
|
|
you will need to sign up for a free-tier Pusher account and retrieve
|
|
its keys. Then you'll need to provide those keys to the Rails application.
|
|
|
|
1. [Sign up](https://dashboard.pusher.com/accounts/sign_up) or [sign in](https://dashboard.pusher.com/) to your Pusher account.
|
|
|
|
2. Once signed in, fill in the prompt to create a new Pusher Channels app.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. In your new Pusher Channels app, click the "App Keys" tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Change your keys accordingly (name of Pusher key -> name of our application key):
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
app_id -> PUSHER_APP_ID
|
|
key -> PUSHER_KEY
|
|
secret -> PUSHER_SECRET
|
|
cluster -> PUSHER_CLUSTER
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Done.
