How do I get a phone notification from a webhook?
Forward the webhook to your Lert link with one POST. In your handler, take the incoming event and send it straight to your link — your iPhone buzzes in about a second. No account, no API keys, no SDK. Setup takes under 30 seconds.
Stripe, GitHub, a form service, your own backend — plenty of things fire webhooks, but a webhook is just an HTTP request hitting a server. To feel it on your phone you need something that turns that request into a push. Lert does exactly that: your unique link is a notification endpoint, so your handler forwards the event with one POST and you get buzzed.
Set it up in under 30 seconds
- Download the app. Open it once — there's no account to create.
- Copy your link. A private link like
https://lert.dev/p/your-idis on screen; one tap copies it. - Forward events from your handler. When a webhook arrives, POST a title and body to your Lert link.
Now every matching event lands as a buzz on your phone — even locked in your pocket.
The code
const express = require("express"); const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); app.post("/webhook", async (req, res) => { await fetch("https://lert.dev/p/your-id", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({ title: "Webhook received", body: `Event: ${req.body.type}` }) }); res.sendStatus(200); });
No headers beyond content type, no auth token, no SDK. The same one-line forward works in a Flask route, a serverless function, or any handler that can make an outbound request.
No server of your own? Point a no-code tool like Zapier or Make at your Lert link as the webhook's action URL — same result, zero code. The link is all it needs.
