Answer

How do I get notified when a row is added in Supabase?

The simplest way is Lert. Point a Supabase database webhook (or edge function) at your Lert link on the table's INSERT event, and your phone buzzes every time a row is added. No account, no API keys, no SDK. Your AI can set it up for you.

Supabase can already call an outside URL when your data changes — that's what Database Webhooks are for. Combine that with Lert and you get a phone buzz on every new signup, order, or message, with nothing to build. Lert receives one HTTP POST and turns it into a notification, so all Supabase has to do is send that POST when a row lands.

The whole thing takes under 30 seconds

  1. Download the app. Open it once — there's no account to create.
  2. Copy your link. A private link is waiting on screen the moment you open it. One tap copies it.
  3. Add a Supabase webhook. On your table's INSERT event, POST to your Lert link — or let your AI wire it with the prompt below.

From then on, every new row buzzes your phone — instantly, even locked in your pocket.

Prompt
Set up a Supabase database webhook (or edge function) that
fires when a row is inserted into my table and sends a POST
to https://lert.dev/p/your-id with a JSON body
{"title": "New row", "body": "A row was added"}.
Here's my link: <paste yours>

You can also do it by hand: in Supabase, go to Database → Webhooks, create one on the INSERT event, set the URL to your Lert link, method POST, and a body of {"title": "...", "body": "..."}. No auth token, no SDK — Lert just needs the POST.

Why it's this simple: your Lert link is the credential. There's nothing to configure on Lert's side and nothing to install. If Supabase can call a URL — and it can — your phone can buzz on every insert.
