How do I get Uptime Kuma alerts on my phone?

In Uptime Kuma, add a Webhook notification pointing at your Hook.Notifier URL. When a monitor goes down or recovers, Uptime Kuma posts to the webhook and Hook.Notifier delivers a native push notification to your phone.

Do I need to self-host anything extra?

No. You already self-host Uptime Kuma; Hook.Notifier is the hosted last mile that turns its webhook into a phone push. No push server, no Firebase to run.

Can I make outage alerts break through Do Not Disturb?

Yes. Add priority=critical to your Hook.Notifier URL. Critical notifications cut through your quiet hours so a real outage still wakes you.

Get push notifications from Uptime Kuma (free)

To get Uptime Kuma alerts on your phone, add a Webhook notification in Uptime Kuma that points at your Hook.Notifier URL. When a monitor goes down or comes back, the alert lands on your phone as a native push notification.

Uptime Kuma is great at watching your services. What it does not do is deliver a native push to your phone without wiring up a third-party app. Hook.Notifier is that last mile.

Add the webhook in Uptime Kuma

In Uptime Kuma, open Settings → Notifications → Setup Notification.
Set Notification Type to Webhook.
In Post URL, paste your Hook.Notifier URL with a title and body:

https://hooknotifier.com/{IDENTIFIER}/{KEY}?object=Service%20down&body=A%20monitor%20changed%20state&tags=monitoring&priority=high

Set the Request Body to Preset - application/json (Uptime Kuma will POST the event details).
Save, then click Test to send yourself a sample push.

Assign the notification to each monitor you care about (or set it as default for all).

First get your URL

Your Hook.Notifier URL is https://hooknotifier.com/{IDENTIFIER}/{KEY}. Create a free account to get yours, then paste it into Uptime Kuma.

Make outages impossible to ignore

An uptime alert that waits politely until morning is not much of an alert. Two parameters fix that:

priority=critical cuts through your quiet hours, so a real outage wakes you even at night.
color=%23EE6767 shows the alert in red in your inbox, so a down service stands out from routine pings.

...?object=DOWN%3A%20api.example.com&body=No%20response%20for%202%20minutes&priority=critical&color=%23EE6767&tags=monitoring

Keep recoveries separate

Route "up" and "down" to different tags so your inbox stays readable:

Down alerts: tags=outage
Recovery alerts: tags=recovered

Then you can mute recoveries and keep only the outages loud, all from the tag settings in your dashboard.

Why it matters

Self-hosting Uptime Kuma already gives you the monitoring. The missing piece is a reliable native push that reaches your pocket without another account to manage. Hook.Notifier closes that gap in one webhook, for free.
