# How to make Airtable ring your phone

Builders · https://lfg.gm/airtable-phone-alarm · Updated 2026-10-25

To make Airtable ring your phone, build an automation that ends with a **Run script** action, and have the script call the private link of an **🔮 Anything** alarm in LFG Alarm. When a record matches (a big deal, an urgent ticket, a booking for today), every phone on the alarm rings like an alarm clock. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android, plus lfg.gm in a desktop browser.

## Before you start

- **Get the LFG Alarm app on your phone** from Google Play or the App Store, and sign in. Airtable triggers the alarm; your phone does the ringing.
- **An LFG Alarm plan that includes Anything alarms.** See the plans on lfg.gm.
- **An Airtable plan with scripts in automations.** Airtable marks the **Run script** action as Team and up.

## Make the alarm

1. In LFG Alarm, on **Alarms**, tap **🔮 Anything**.
2. Name it for what it means, for example "Big deal" or "Urgent ticket". The ring screen shows the alarm's name and nothing from Airtable, so pick a name that says what happened.
3. Pick a **Cooldown**: how long it stays quiet after it rings, from 1 minute to 1 hour. That way a burst of matching records rings once, not ten times.
4. Share it with the people who should hear it, and tap **Arm it**.
5. On the link card, tap **Copy**. It starts with `https://api.lfg.gm/horn/`. Keep it private: anyone with it can ring the alarm.

## Build the automation

1. In your base, open **Automations**, then **Create automation**.
2. Pick a trigger, for example **When a record matches conditions**, with Deal size greater than 10,000.
3. Click **Add advanced logic or action** and choose **Run script**.

4. In the script's left panel, add an input variable named `ringLink` and paste the alarm's link as its value.
5. Paste this script:

```js
// Rings an LFG alarm on everyone's phone. The link comes from the input variable ringLink.
const { ringLink } = input.config();
const res = await fetch(ringLink, { method: 'POST' });
const body = await res.json();
output.set('rang', res.status === 200);
output.set('peopleWoken', body.wokeUp ?? 0);
```

6. Press **Test**, check your phone rings, then turn the automation on.

**What it does:** when a record matches, the script sends one request to the alarm's link and every phone on the alarm rings. It also gives later steps two values: **rang**, which is false if the alarm had just rung and skipped this one, and **peopleWoken**, the number of phones that rang. To ring for something else, just change the trigger: a status set to Urgent, a date that arrives today, or a new form submission.

## Rocco's finds as new rows

When Rocco, LFG's agent, is watching something for you, he can send everything he finds to a web address. Point it at Airtable and you get a running log of his finds.

1. In Airtable, make an automation with the trigger **When webhook received**, and copy its URL.
2. In LFG Alarm, open the alarm, choose **Send alerts to**, and paste that URL.
3. Each alert arrives with `alarm`, `beacon` (what he found), `at` and `beaconUrl`. Add a **Create record** action and match each one to a field in your table.

## Let your AI set it up

**Try this.** Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or another AI agent that has the LFG Alarm connector (https://mcp.lfg.gm), not into the LFG Alarm app. The person needs the LFG Alarm app on their phone.

> Use LFG Alarm to make an Anything alarm called "Big deal" with 10 minutes of quiet time, add my teammate [their LFG Alarm username], and give me its link. Then write me an Airtable automation script that rings it when a record's Deal size is over 10,000.

Why it works: One request makes and shares the alarm, and your AI writes the script with the link in it. Connect LFG Alarm to your AI app first: see [AI agents](https://lfg.gm/agents).

## If it does not work

- **The script fails on fetch.** Check `ringLink` is set and the link starts with `https://api.lfg.gm/horn/`.
- **rang is false.** The alarm had just rung, so it skipped this one. Wait for the cooldown to pass, or make it shorter.
- **It rang but a teammate heard nothing.** They have to join the alarm first: send them its link.
- **Still stuck?** Write to us from the [support page](https://lfg.gm/support).

## Questions

### Does LFG Alarm read my base?
No. The script only sends a request to the alarm's link. Nothing from your records is sent unless you add it yourself, and the ring screen never shows it.

### Can one automation ring the whole team?
Yes. Everyone who joined the alarm hears it.
