Built a dashboard with AI? Get notified on your phone
You vibe-coded a little dashboard to keep an eye on your numbers — sales, sign-ups, errors, whatever matters. But now you find yourself refreshing it, waiting for something to change. Let it come to you instead. With Lert, your dashboard can buzz your phone the moment a number crosses a line, so you can close the tab and get on with your life.
Stop watching, start getting told
A dashboard is great for answering "how are things right now?" But most of the time, the answer is "the same as five minutes ago." Sitting and watching it is a waste of your attention. What you actually want is for the dashboard to tap you on the shoulder only when something interesting happens — and go quiet the rest of the time.
That's exactly what Lert does. It gives you a private link that looks like https://lert.dev/p/your-id. When your dashboard notices a number cross the line you care about, it sends a quick message to that link, and your phone lights up. No sign-up, no keys, nothing to configure. The link is the whole thing.
POST https://lert.dev/p/your-id {"title":"Revenue milestone","body":"you just crossed $1,000 today"}
When that runs, your phone shows "Revenue milestone — you just crossed $1,000 today." You didn't have the dashboard open. You didn't check anything. It just told you.
Let your AI add the check for you
You built the dashboard with an AI, so you don't need to figure out where this goes — the AI does. Copy the prompt below, paste it into Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or whatever you used, and put your own Lert link at the end. It knows your code and will add the check in the right place.
Add a push notification to my dashboard using Lert. When today's revenue crosses $1,000, send a POST to https://lert.dev/p/your-id with a JSON body that has a "title" and a "body". Only send it once per day so I don't get spammed. No API key is needed — the link is all it takes. Here's my Lert link: <paste yours here>
Swap "today's revenue crosses $1,000" for whatever line matters to you — "sign-ups drop to zero for an hour," "errors go above 10," "a new order comes in." You describe the condition in plain English and the AI wires it up. If you'd rather not touch a prompt at all, you can also send these alerts through a no-code tool — see the Zapier guide.
Tip: ask for a limit so you're not buzzed constantly. A dashboard checks its numbers often, so tell your AI to only notify you "once per day" or "once per hour" for a given alert. That way you get the one buzz that matters, not fifty in a row.
Good things to be alerted about
Once one alert is in, you'll spot more worth adding. Common ones for a vibe-coded dashboard:
- A metric crosses a target — revenue, users, downloads. The happy milestone buzz.
- A number drops when it shouldn't — sign-ups flatline, traffic dies, orders stop. Catch it early.
- An error count climbs — the dashboard sees a spike and tells you before customers do.
- Something needs a human — a big order, a refund request, a flagged item that wants your eyes.
Every one of these is the same simple move: your dashboard checks a number, and when the condition is true, it sends a title and body to your Lert link.
Why it's this easy
Most alerting tools are built for teams with ops engineers — accounts, keys, config files, dashboards to configure the dashboards. That's overkill for a tool you vibe-coded in an afternoon. Lert is the opposite: a single link that your dashboard sends to, and a phone that buzzes. Nothing to set up, nothing to maintain. It's the fastest way to turn "I keep checking my dashboard" into "my dashboard checks itself and tells me." If your dashboard has a longer job running in the background, the AI agent notifications use case is a natural next read.
FAQ
Do I have to keep the dashboard open?
No — that's the whole point. Your dashboard sends the notification itself when a condition is met, so you can close the tab and let your phone tell you when something needs you.
What kind of alerts can I set?
Anything your dashboard can measure: revenue passing a target, sign-ups dropping to zero, an error count climbing, inventory running low. You pick the condition and the message, and Lert delivers it.
Do I need to write the code myself?
No. You can paste one line, or ask the same AI you built the dashboard with to add the check for you. Give it your Lert link and describe the alert in plain English.
Is there any setup or API key?
No. Your Lert link is the only thing you need. There's no account to wire into your dashboard, no key, and no library to install.
