Send Push Notifications and Trigger Live Activities with Ruby
Use the official Ruby SDK to deliver immediate Push Notifications and Live Activity progress updates for long-running jobs and automation workflows.
DOCUMENTATION
activitysmith.com/docs/sdks/rubyInstall
gem install activitysmithSetup
require "activitysmith"activitysmith = ActivitySmith::Client.new( api_key: ENV.fetch("ACTIVITYSMITH_API_KEY"))Push Notifications
Send an immediate notification for a completed task or event:
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.
Image Preview
activitysmith.notifications.send( { title: "Homepage ready", message: "Your agent finished the redesign.", media: "https://cdn.example.com/output/homepage-v2.png", redirection: "https://github.com/acme/web/pull/482" })Audio Preview
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.
activitysmith.notifications.send( { title: "New subscription 💸", message: "Customer upgraded to Pro plan", redirection: "https://crm.example.com/customers/cus_9f3a1d", actions: [ { title: "Open CRM Profile", type: "open_url", url: "https://crm.example.com/customers/cus_9f3a1d" }, { title: "Start Onboarding Workflow", type: "webhook", url: "https://hooks.example.com/activitysmith/onboarding/start", method: "POST", body: { customer_id: "cus_9f3a1d", plan: "pro" } } ] })Live Activities
Choose the Live Activity type that matches what you want to show:
Stats
Show up to 8 labeled values on your Lock Screen, from revenue and orders to uptime and conversion.
Metrics
Track two related values with segmented bars, such as CPU and memory.
Segmented Progress
Show progress through a known set of steps, like build, test, deploy, and verify.
Progress
Show percentage progress for jobs that move continuously toward completion.
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.
activitysmith.live_activities.stream( "sales-hourly", { content_state: { title: "Sales", subtitle: "last hour", type: "stats", metrics: [ { label: "Revenue", value: "$2430", color: "blue" }, { label: "Orders", value: "37", color: "green" }, { label: "Conversion", value: "4.8%", color: "magenta" }, { label: "Avg Order", value: "$65.68", color: "yellow" }, { label: "Refunds", value: "$84", color: "red" }, { label: "New Buyers", value: "18", color: "cyan" } ] } })activitysmith.live_activities.stream( "prod-web-1", { content_state: { title: "Server Health", subtitle: "prod-web-1", type: "metrics", metrics: [ { label: "CPU", value: 9, unit: "%" }, { label: "MEM", value: 45, unit: "%" } ] } })activitysmith.live_activities.stream( "nightly-backup", { content_state: { title: "Nightly Backup", subtitle: "upload archive", type: "segmented_progress", number_of_steps: 3, current_step: 2 } })activitysmith.live_activities.stream( "search-reindex", { content_state: { title: "Search Reindex", subtitle: "catalog-v2", type: "progress", percentage: 42 } })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.live_activities.end_stream( "prod-web-1", { content_state: { title: "Server Health", subtitle: "prod-web-1", type: "metrics", metrics: [ { label: "CPU", value: 7, unit: "%" }, { label: "MEM", value: 38, unit: "%" } ], auto_dismiss_minutes: 2 } })Live Activities can include one optional action button. Use it to open a URL from the Live Activity or trigger a backend webhook.

activitysmith.live_activities.stream( "search-reindex", { content_state: { title: "Reindexing product search", subtitle: "Shard 7 of 12", type: "segmented_progress", number_of_steps: 12, current_step: 7 }, action: { title: "Pause Reindex", type: "webhook", url: "https://ops.example.com/hooks/search/reindex/pause", method: "POST", body: { job_id: "reindex-2026-03-19", requested_by: "activitysmith-ruby" } } })Widgets
ActivitySmith lets you display any value on your Lock Screen with widgets - SaaS metrics, revenue, number of users, uptime, 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.
activitysmith.metrics.update("deploy.success_rate", 99.9)String metric values work too.
activitysmith.metrics.update("prod.status", "healthy")Integrate with any Ruby application
Keep your team aligned with immediate event delivery across incidents, business signals, and automation outcomes.
