01
Create the webhook
Open ActivitySmith webhooks, choose Railway, then select Push Notifications or Live Activities.
Track Railway deployments from your lock screen
Route Railway deployment webhooks through ActivitySmith so builds, rollouts, failures, crashes, restarts, and environment changes appear on your iOS device. Send events as Push Notifications for fast alerts, or keep long-running work visible with Live Activities.

docs.railway.comWebhook signal coverage
Use provider payload fields to keep each iOS update specific, routeable, and tied to the workflow event that caused it.
Railway events ActivitySmith can route
- Deployment created, queued, and initializing events for Live Activity starts.
- Building, deploying, and metadata-updated events for progress updates.
- Success, failed, crashed, removed, and restarted events for final state or alerting.
- Project, environment, service, branch, status, and commit fields for custom titles and messages.
Set it up from the webhook settings
Create the ActivitySmith endpoint first, paste it into Railway, then choose what appears on your device from the incoming payload fields.
02
Paste the Railway URL
Copy the generated ActivitySmith URL into Railway webhooks and subscribe to the deployment events you care about.
03
Choose what appears on your lock screen
Map Railway payload fields into titles, messages, progress, channels, and action buttons.
Use it for
Production deployment timeline
Start a Live Activity when Railway queues a deploy, update it through build and rollout, and finish it on success or failure.
Failure notifications for on-call
Send a Push Notification to the right channel when a Railway deployment fails, crashes, or gets removed.
Environment-aware releases
Use Railway environment and service fields to separate production deploys from preview environments and background services.
Actionable deploy follow-up
Add buttons that open Railway, jump to a runbook, or trigger an internal webhook when a deployment needs attention.
