How to choose a phone for messages

This guide shows you how to select, rename, or remove a paired destination.

  1. List saved destinations:

    botpager devices
  2. Copy an exact phone name or device ID. Send to that destination:

    botpager send -d "Work phone" "Deployment finished"
  3. To make it the default:

    botpager default "Work phone"

To rename the phone destination, use its current exact reference:

botpager rename "Work phone" "Office phone"

To revoke this computer’s pairing with that phone:

botpager unlink "Office phone"

If a name is ambiguous, use the device ID from botpager devices. For temporary shell-wide selection, set BOTPAGER_DEVICE to the exact reference, then unset it when finished. See reference resolution for precedence.
