Use activitysmith.notifications.send when a deploy finishes, a customer upgrades, or a background job needs attention. title is required. message and subtitle are optional.
Ruby
activitysmith.notifications.send( { title: "New subscription 💸", message: "Customer upgraded to Pro plan" })
Send images, videos, or audio with your push notifications, press and hold to preview media directly from the notification, then tap through to open the linked content.What will work:
direct image URL: .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.
direct audio file URL: .mp3, .m4a, etc.
direct video file URL: .mp4, .mov, etc.
URL that responds with a proper media Content-Type, even if the path has no extension
media can be combined with redirection, but not with actions.
Push notification redirection and actions are optional and can be used to redirect the user to a specific URL when they tap the notification or to trigger a specific action when they long-press the notification. Webhooks are executed by ActivitySmith backend.
stats: best for showing business numbers side by side, such as revenue, sales, new users, conversion, refunds, or any other value you want visible at a glance
metrics: best for live percentage values that change often, like server CPU, memory usage, disk usage, or error rate
segmented_progress: best for anything that moves through clear stages, like deployments, onboarding flows, backups, ETL pipelines, migrations, and AI agent runs
progress: best for tracking real-time progress with percentage, like tasks, backups, migrations, syncs, or uploads
Use a stable stream_key to identify the metric, job, deployment, or system you want to keep visible. The first stream(...) call starts the Live Activity. Later calls with the same stream_key update it.
Call end_stream(...) with the same stream_key to dismiss the Live Activity. You can include final values before it is removed. By default, iOS removes the Live Activity after two minutes. Set auto_dismiss_minutes to choose a different dismissal time, including 0 for immediate dismissal.
ActivitySmith lets you display any value on your Lock Screen with widgets - SaaS metrics, revenue, signups, uptime, habits, or anything else you want to track. Create a metric in the web app, then update the metric value using our API, add a widget to your lock screen and it will fetch the latest update automatically.
