Push Notifications

Every event you send to API Alerts is delivered as a push notification to your team’s phones. It’s the default destination — enabled automatically when you create a workspace.

Zero configuration

Push notifications are implicit. You don’t need to set up a router or configure a destination. Every event sent to a channel is automatically pushed to all team members assigned to that channel.

  1. A team member installs the iOS or Android app
  2. They sign in and join your workspace
  3. They’re assigned to channels
  4. Events sent to those channels trigger push notifications

What you see

Each notification shows:

  • Title — the event title (if provided)
  • Message — the event message body
  • Link — tap the notification to open the link URL directly

Channel-based routing

Push notifications respect your channel assignments. If a team member is only assigned to the “payments” channel, they won’t receive notifications for events sent to “deployments”. This keeps notifications relevant — no alert fatigue.

Works alongside other destinations

Push is separate from the router/destination pipeline. When you add email, Slack, or webhook destinations to a router, push notifications still fire independently for all channel members. You don’t need to configure push as a router destination.
