Netlify deploys as push notifications

July 23, 2026 · 3 min read

Netlify has the cleanest webhook story of all the deploy platforms: outgoing webhooks are configured per event, right where email notifications live. Three clicks per event, done.

Setup

Create endpoints in the Webhooky app (Android / iOS) – at minimum “Deploy failed” with sound error_1; optionally “Deploy succeeded” with level_up_2.
In Netlify: Site configuration → Notifications → Emails and webhooks → Add notification → HTTP POST request. Event Deploy failed → URL of your alarm endpoint. Repeat for Deploy succeeded if wanted.

What arrives

Netlify posts the site/deploy JSON (site name, deploy state, commit ref) without title/message fields – the push shows your endpoint's texts, which is exactly enough: the buzzer sound is the message. If you manage several sites, one “failed” endpoint per site with its own color keeps the history readable.

Tips

Deploy started exists too – useful for long builds, noisy for quick ones.
Form submissions can fire the same HTTP POST notification type – a cash_register endpoint for new leads is one click away.
