01
Create the webhook
Open ActivitySmith webhooks, choose Netlify, then pick a template for deploy Live Activities, deploy push notifications, or form submission notifications.
Track Netlify deploys and form submissions on your lock screen
Route Netlify outbound webhooks through ActivitySmith so production deploys, form submissions, and deploy results from your sites appear on your team's paired iOS devices, with titles and messages drawn from the payload fields you map. Send events as Push Notifications for fast alerts, or keep long-running work visible with Live Activities.

Use provider payload fields to keep each iOS update specific, routeable, and tied to the workflow event that caused it.
Netlify events ActivitySmith can route
- Deploy lifecycle events (for example started, succeeded, failed, locked, and request pending) for Live Activity starts, progress, and final states.
- Form submission events so new leads and contact form posts become push notifications with form name, submitter, and custom fields.
- Site, branch, context, commit, and admin URL fields for titles, subtitles, and deep links back to Netlify or your live site.
- Optional per-event JSON path mapping so the same ActivitySmith URL can power multiple templates (deploy line vs form push notifications).
Set it up from the webhook settings
Create the ActivitySmith endpoint first, paste it into Netlify, then choose what appears on your device from the incoming payload fields.
02
Register the URL in Netlify
In Netlify project deploy notifications and form notifications, paste the ActivitySmith URL and subscribe to the deploy and form events you need.
03
Map what appears on iOS
Point Netlify payload fields into titles, messages, progress, channels, and action buttons for each workflow.
Use it for
Site activity is split across the Netlify UI, email, and chat. ActivitySmith centralizes deploy and form signal on the devices your team already checks.
Release line on the lock screen
Start a Live Activity when a deploy begins, show progress through the pipeline, and close it on success, failure, or cancel.
Form submissions that need a fast reply
Notify the right channel when a Netlify form is submitted, with the form name, email, and message in the push notification body.
Failed deploy, immediate push notification
Send a high-signal push notification when a deploy fails or a previously healthy deploy regresses so on-call does not need the dashboard open.
One tap back to the deploy or site
Add actions that open the Netlify admin deploy view, the live URL, or an internal handoff webhook.
