I have searched, and I know people have done this, but I can't seem to get the right combination of words together to get a result.

I just updated to BI6, running the native AI. I want to get a Pushover notification for specific license plates. How do I go about doing this? I can get general notifications, but I can't seem to find a way to filter by specific plates.
 
The trick is a condition on the action rather than a filter in the Pushover setup itself.
In the camera's Alerts tab, open the On alert action set and edit your Pushover action. Actions in that list can be limited with an if condition using Blue Iris macros, and the plate the AI read ends up in the alert memo, so a condition on &MEMO (or &PLATE if your build exposes it) containing your plate makes that one action fire only for those plates. For another plate you can add a second Pushover action with its own condition.
Before setting it up, open a few recent plate alerts and look at the memo to see exactly how BI6's native AI writes the plate text. OCR misreads like 0 vs O or 8 vs B are common, so matching on a distinctive chunk of the plate is usually more reliable than the full string.
If it still does not fire, a screenshot of the action dialog plus one alert's memo would make it easy to see what is off.
 
I ended up getting it working. Gemini was hellbent on there being a "required text" field, and that the "required AI data" at the top of the window should not be used for this. It turns out, you just put the plate number in that field, and it works.
