Uptime Kuma: push notifications with a real alarm sound

Setup in Uptime Kuma

1. In the Webhooky app, create an endpoint called “Uptime”, pick an alarm sound (e.g. buzzer) and enable Important.
2. In Uptime Kuma: Settings → Notifications → Setup Notification.
3. Notification type: Webhook, Post URL: your Webhooky endpoint.
4. Content type: application/json → Save, then enable the notification on your monitors.

That's already functional: every down/up event now triggers a push with your endpoint's configured title and text, and the full Kuma payload is kept in the app history if you enable store payload.

Nicer: put the monitor name in the notification

Recent Kuma versions offer a custom body for webhook notifications. Use it to map Kuma's variables onto Webhooky's fields:

{
  "title": "🔴 {{ monitorJSON['name'] }}",
  "message": "{{ msg }}",
  "sound": "error_1"
}

Now the push itself says which monitor changed state. If your version doesn't have custom bodies, the default setup above still works – the details are one tap away in the history.

Tips

• Uptime Kuma sends both DOWN and UP events through the same notification. That's usually what you want – the UP push is the relief signal.
• Use a second, quieter endpoint for staging systems so only production sounds the alarm.
• Self-hosted Kuma only needs outbound HTTPS to api.webhooky.app – no ports, no accounts.
