Get Notified When Your AI Agent Finishes

Claude Code can run for minutes on complex tasks. Refactoring a module, running a test suite, migrating a schema. You’re stuck watching the terminal or you walk away and forget about it.

With API Alerts, you get a push notification on your phone the moment the task completes. Walk away, grab coffee, work on something else. Your phone buzzes when it’s done.

Claude Code

The API Alerts CLI runs on your machine, so Claude Code can call it directly. No configuration beyond installing the CLI.

Just ask

Tell Claude to notify you as part of any task:

“Refactor the auth module and send me an API Alert when you’re done.”

“Run the full test suite and notify me via API Alerts with the results.”

“Migrate the database schema and send me an alert if anything fails.”

Claude runs apialerts send at the right moment. That’s it.

Automate it with hooks

Don’t want to ask every time? Claude Code supports hooks that fire automatically when a task finishes or when Claude needs your input. Configure it once and every task sends a push notification without you having to ask.

See the full hooks setup in our docs.

Works with any AI agent

Any agent that can run shell commands works the same way:

apialerts send -m "Agent completed task" -c ai

Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents, local LLM pipelines — if it can execute a command, it can notify you.

Quick setup

  1. Install the CLI (Homebrew, Scoop, or Go)
  2. Run apialerts init to configure your API key
  3. Ask your agent to notify you, or set up hooks for automatic alerts

For the full CLI reference and hook configuration, see the AI Agents documentation.
