How do I send a notification to my phone from n8n?

Add one HTTP Request node that POSTs to Lert. Download the app, copy your link, and point an HTTP Request node at it with a title and body — your phone buzzes in about a second. No account, no API keys, no SDK.

n8n already ships with an HTTP Request node, and that's all you need to buzz your phone. Because your Lert link is the credential, there are no n8n credentials to create, no OAuth to authorize, and no API key node to wire up. You drop in one node and connect it to the end of any workflow.

The entire setup — under 30 seconds

  1. Download the app. Open it once. There's no account to create, and your private link is waiting on screen.
  2. Copy your link. One tap copies something like https://lert.dev/p/your-id.
  3. Add an HTTP Request node. Set the method to POST, the URL to your link, and send a JSON body with title and body.

Then your phone buzzes — instantly, even locked in your pocket.

How to configure the node

n8n · HTTP Request node
# Method      POST
# URL         https://lert.dev/p/your-id
# Body type   JSON

# JSON body
{
  "title": "Workflow finished",
  "body": "Order {{$json.orderId}} was processed",
  "tag": "n8n"
}

Drop expressions like {{$json.orderId}} straight into the body to include live data from earlier nodes. Leave Authentication set to None — there's nothing to authenticate. Connect the node after any trigger or IF node and you'll get a push the moment it runs.

Why it's this simple: most notification integrations in n8n want an app token, a channel ID, or an OAuth connection. Lert is a plain URL, so the HTTP Request node is the whole integration — nothing to install, nothing to expire.
