Get Instant Webhook Push Notifications on Your Phone with Webhookify

There is something uniquely satisfying about hearing a cash register sound on your phone every time a customer makes a purchase. That instant audible confirmation that revenue just came in -- while you are walking your dog, sitting in a meeting, or relaxing on the couch -- is what makes mobile push notifications the most personal and immediate webhook notification channel available. With the Webhookify mobile app, every Stripe payment, Shopify order, PayPal transaction, or any other webhook event becomes an instant push notification delivered right to your pocket.
Webhookify's iOS and Android apps transform your phone into a real-time webhook monitoring device. Beyond the signature cash sound for payment events, the app delivers AI-summarized push notifications for any webhook event, lets you view full payloads on the go, and keeps you connected to your services even when you are away from your desk. This guide covers everything from installing the app to optimizing your notification settings for the best experience.
Why Mobile Push for Webhook Notifications?
Mobile push notifications occupy a unique position in the notification hierarchy. They are more immediate than email, more personal than Slack or Discord, and literally impossible to ignore when your phone buzzes in your pocket.
-
True Instant Delivery: Push notifications arrive on your phone within seconds of a webhook event, regardless of what app you are using or whether your screen is on. Unlike email that might be batched or chat messages that require the app to be open, push notifications are delivered at the operating system level.
-
The Cash Sound Experience: Webhookify's signature feature is the cash register sound that plays when a payment-related webhook event arrives. Founders, indie hackers, and SaaS operators love this feature because it turns every sale into an audible celebration. You hear the "ka-ching" and immediately know revenue just came in.
-
Always With You: Your phone goes everywhere you do. Whether you are commuting, at dinner, or on vacation, critical webhook alerts reach you instantly. For on-call engineers, founders monitoring launch day, or e-commerce operators during peak season, mobile push means never being out of the loop.
-
Glanceable Information: Push notifications appear on your lock screen with a brief AI-generated summary. You can glance at your phone, see "New payment: $149.00 from sarah@company.com for Pro Plan," and decide whether to take action or continue what you are doing -- all without unlocking your phone.
-
Priority and Focus Controls: Both iOS and Android offer granular notification controls. You can set Webhookify as a priority app that breaks through Do Not Disturb for critical alerts, or configure it to deliver notifications silently during off hours. You control the interruption level.
-
Offline Queuing: If your phone is temporarily offline (airplane mode, poor signal), push notifications are queued by Apple's APNs or Google's FCM infrastructure and delivered as soon as connectivity is restored. You never miss an event.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Download the Webhookify App
Install the Webhookify app on your phone:
- iOS: Search for "Webhookify" in the App Store, or visit the direct link from webhookify.app. Requires iOS 15 or later.
- Android: Search for "Webhookify" in Google Play, or visit the direct link from webhookify.app. Requires Android 10 or later.
Open the app and sign in with your existing Webhookify account credentials. If you do not have an account yet, you can sign up directly from the app or at webhookify.app.
Enable Push Notifications
When you first sign in, the app will prompt you to enable push notifications. Tap "Allow" -- this is essential for receiving webhook alerts on your phone.
If you accidentally denied the notification permission, you can enable it manually:
On iOS: Go to Settings > Webhookify > Notifications > Allow Notifications.
On Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Webhookify > Notifications > Enable.
Once enabled, the app registers your device with Webhookify's notification system. You will receive a test push notification confirming that everything is set up correctly.
Enable the Cash Sound for Payment Events
This is the feature that makes Webhookify's mobile app special. In the Webhookify app settings, find the "Cash Sound" or "Payment Sound" toggle and enable it.
When this feature is active, any webhook event that Webhookify's AI identifies as a payment, purchase, or sale event will trigger the cash register sound. This works with events from:
- Stripe (
payment_intent.succeeded,checkout.session.completed) - Shopify (
orders/create,orders/paid) - PayPal (
PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED) - LemonSqueezy (
order_created,subscription_payment_success) - Paddle (
transaction.completed) - Square (
payment.completed) - Any other service where the payload indicates a payment or purchase
Non-payment events (like GitHub pushes or deployment status changes) use the standard notification sound so you can distinguish between revenue events and other alerts by sound alone.
Create Endpoints and Connect Services
In the Webhookify dashboard (web or app), create webhook endpoints and paste the URLs into your services.
https://hook.webhookify.app/wh/mob456xyz123
Connect your preferred services:
- Stripe: Developers > Webhooks > Add endpoint. See the Stripe setup guide.
- Shopify: Settings > Notifications > Webhooks. See the Shopify setup guide.
- GitHub: Repository Settings > Webhooks. See the GitHub setup guide.
- Any service: Paste the Webhookify URL into any webhook configuration.
Each endpoint you create will send push notifications to your phone (and to any other notification channels you have configured).
Configure Priority and Do Not Disturb Settings
Fine-tune how webhook push notifications interact with your phone's focus and notification settings.
On iOS (Focus Modes):
- Go to Settings > Focus.
- In your active Focus mode (e.g., "Do Not Disturb" or "Sleep"), tap "Apps."
- Add Webhookify to the allowed apps list.
- Webhookify notifications will now break through your Focus mode.
On Android (Priority Notifications):
- Go to Settings > Apps > Webhookify > Notifications.
- Set the notification channel to "Priority" or "Urgent."
- In Do Not Disturb settings, add Webhookify as an exception.
Within the Webhookify app, you can also configure notification schedules. For example, receive all push notifications during business hours (9 AM - 6 PM) and only critical alerts (payment failures, deployment errors) outside business hours.
What Your Push Notifications Look Like
Webhookify push notifications are concise, glanceable, and information-rich. Here is what they look like on your lock screen:
Payment event (with cash sound):
Webhookify 💰
Stripe - payment_intent.succeeded
Customer kate@startup.io paid $299.00 USD
for Enterprise Plan (annual). Visa ending in 4242.
2:34 PM
GitHub deployment event:
Webhookify
GitHub - deployment_status
Deployment to production succeeded for
my-org/api-server. Commit: "Add rate limiting
middleware" by @alice.
2:41 PM
Failed payment alert:
Webhookify ⚠️
Stripe - payment_intent.payment_failed
Payment of $49.99 failed for customer
bob@company.com. Reason: Card declined
(insufficient funds). Card ending in 5678.
3:15 PM
Tapping any notification opens the Webhookify app directly to the event detail view, where you can see the full payload, headers, and AI summary.
Best Practices for Mobile Push Webhook Notifications
-
Use the cash sound strategically: Enable the cash sound for your primary revenue-generating services. If you have multiple payment processors, connect all of them so you get the cash sound regardless of which processor handles the transaction.
-
Set notification schedules: Unless you are on call, configure quiet hours so webhook alerts do not wake you at 3 AM. Use Webhookify's notification scheduling to limit push notifications to business hours for non-critical events.
-
Combine with lock screen widgets: On iOS, add the Webhookify widget to your lock screen for a quick glance at recent webhook events without unlocking your phone. On Android, add the Webhookify home screen widget to see recent alerts.
-
Pair with other channels: Mobile push is perfect for immediate awareness, but pair it with email for a searchable archive and Slack for team-wide visibility. Use Webhookify's multi-channel delivery to get the best of all channels.
-
Review battery usage periodically: While Webhookify is designed to be battery-efficient, check your phone's battery usage settings occasionally to confirm it is not consuming excessive power. The app uses platform-native push services and should have minimal battery impact.
-
Use notification grouping: Both iOS and Android can group notifications from the same app. This prevents your lock screen from being overwhelmed when multiple events arrive in quick succession. Individual events are still accessible by expanding the notification group.
Real-World Use Cases
Founders Monitoring Launch Day Revenue
A SaaS founder launches their product on Product Hunt and enables the cash sound on their Webhookify app. Throughout launch day, every new customer subscription triggers a cash register sound on their phone. Between meetings and interviews, they glance at their lock screen to see AI summaries like "New subscriber: mark@bigcorp.com signed up for Team Plan at $149/month." The sound creates an exciting, visceral connection to each new customer.
SaaS Revenue Monitoring on the Go
An indie hacker running three SaaS products connects all their Stripe accounts and LemonSqueezy stores to Webhookify. Throughout the day, push notifications keep them updated on revenue across all products. The AI summary tells them which product, which plan, and how much -- without opening any dashboard. At the end of the month, they can scroll through push notification history to get a rough sense of performance.
On-Call Engineers Responding to Incidents
A DevOps engineer on night-time call duty configures Webhookify push notifications as a priority app that breaks through Do Not Disturb. When a Vercel deployment fails or a critical GitHub Actions workflow errors out, the push notification wakes them immediately. The AI summary tells them which service, what failed, and which commit caused the issue -- enough context to start investigating right from their phone.
E-Commerce Store Owners During Peak Season
A Shopify store owner enables push notifications during Black Friday and holiday sales. Every order triggers a push notification with the customer name, order total, and items purchased. The cash sound provides constant positive reinforcement during the busiest selling period of the year. They can track sales velocity just by how frequently their phone plays the cash sound.
On iOS, go to Settings > Webhookify > Notifications and set the notification style to "Persistent." This keeps webhook alerts on your lock screen until you manually dismiss them, so you never accidentally miss an important event by swiping it away. On Android, set the notification channel to "Silent and visible" for non-payment events so they accumulate on your notification shade without buzzing for every event.
Hear the Cash Sound Every Time You Make a Sale
Download the Webhookify app and get instant push notifications for every webhook event. The cash register sound for payments is the most satisfying notification you will ever receive.
