How do I get notified when a GitHub Actions workflow finishes?

Watching the little spinner on the Actions tab is a waste of a good afternoon. Instead, let the workflow tell you when it's done. Adding one step to your YAML — guarded with if: always() so it fires on green and red — sends the result straight to your lock screen. Because your Lert link is the credential, there's no secret to wire up unless you want to hide the link itself.

Set it up in under 30 seconds

1. Download the app. Open it once — there's no account to create. Your private link is on screen.
2. Copy your link. One tap copies https://lert.dev/p/your-id.
3. Add a notify step to your workflow. Put it last, mark it if: always(), and curl your link with ${{ job.status }}.

From then on, every run — pass or fail — buzzes your phone.

Example: a final step in your workflow YAML

- name: Notify my phone
  if: always()
  run: |
    curl -X POST "https://lert.dev/p/your-id" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "title": "CI ${{ job.status }}",
        "body":  "${{ github.workflow }} on ${{ github.ref_name }}",
        "tag":   "ci"
      }'

No auth token, no SDK — one curl at the end of the job. Want to keep the link out of the logs? Store it as a repository secret and reference ${{ secrets.LERT_URL }} instead of pasting it inline.
