01
Pair an iOS device
Connect your iPhone or iPad to ActivitySmith before testing. Push Notifications and Live Activities need a paired device so ActivitySmith has somewhere to send the update.
Send n8n workflow updates to your Lock Screen
Use the official ActivitySmith node in n8n to route workflow milestones, results, and action links from your automations to your team's paired iOS devices. Send events as Push Notifications for fast alerts, or keep long-running work visible with Live Activities.

n8n ActivitySmith noden8n workflow signal coverage
Use values from earlier n8n nodes to keep each iOS update specific, tied to the current execution, and useful when someone is away from the editor.
n8n updates ActivitySmith can send
- Start, update, and end Live Activities for long-running workflows with visible progress on the Lock Screen.
- Send Push Notifications for workflow completion, failure, approval, branch-specific results, or generated reports.
- Map workflow name, status, activity ID, result URL, and any earlier node output into titles, messages, and action buttons.
- Route updates to paired iPhone and iPad devices through ActivitySmith channels.
Set it up from the ActivitySmith node
Pair your iPhone or iPad first, add the official ActivitySmith node in n8n, then choose which workflow events should appear on your device.
02
Add the ActivitySmith node
Search for ActivitySmith in n8n, add the official node to your workflow, and connect it with your ActivitySmith API key.
03
Choose the workflow update
Send a Push Notification, start a Live Activity, update progress, or end the Live Activity with values from earlier n8n nodes.
Track your n8n workflows on your Lock Screen
The n8n editor and execution log are useful when you are at your desk. ActivitySmith makes long-running automation visible on iOS while it runs, then sends the result when it matters.
Workflow progress on the Lock Screen
Start a Live Activity near the beginning of a long-running n8n workflow, update it after each useful milestone, and end it when the workflow succeeds or fails.
Execution result Push Notifications
Send a Push Notification when the workflow finishes, fails, needs approval, or produces a report someone should review.
Generated file or report ready
Link the notification action to the generated output, dashboard, or n8n execution so follow-up starts from the exact result.
Team automation visibility
Route automation updates to the channel that owns the workflow so founders, operators, or engineers see the same high-signal update.
