# Anything alarms (webhooks) Alarm types · https://lfg.gm/wiki/anything-alarms · Updated 2026-10-16 An anything alarm in LFG Alarm gives you a private link. Anything that can send a web request to it (a script, a bot, Zapier, IFTTT, a site monitor, a phone shortcut) rings the alarm on your phone and on the phones of the friends you shared it with. It is also called a webhook alarm. ## Make an anything alarm 1. On **Alarms**, tap **🔮 Anything**. 2. Under **Cooldown**, pick **1m**, **5m**, **10m**, **30m** or **1h**: the time after a ring during which more calls are ignored. 10 minutes is the default. 3. Choose who it is for (private or friends) and tap **Arm it**. 4. The **horn** card shows the link, with **Copy**, **Test fire** (rings only your phone), **New URL** (the old one stops working) and **What's a webhook?**. ## Ring it Send an HTTP POST request to the link: ```bash curl -X POST https://example.com/lfg-webhook-link ``` Replace the placeholder with your own link. Opening the link in a browser does nothing, and nothing you send is shown: it just rings. ## Examples - **Your site is down.** Point a site monitor's "down" alert at the link, private, 30m cooldown, so one outage rings once, not every minute. - **A long job is done.** Add the curl line to the end of a build or a training script and go to sleep. `make release && curl -X POST `. - **A shared house alarm.** An IFTTT applet that fires when the doorbell camera sees a parcel, shared with your flatmates as a friends alarm. ## Good to know - Guard the link like a password. If it leaks, tap **New URL**, and update whatever calls it. - Anything alarms are never public, and riders cannot keep a copy if you delete one. - Deleted, the link answers "not found"; switched off, it says it is switched off, so a script you are debugging tells you the truth. - Once a second person rides it, the link is sealed too: **New URL** no longer works on it. - On Android it rings full screen, even on Do Not Disturb. On iPhone it arrives as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's own sound, which can come through Focus but respects the silent switch, so keep the ringer on. ## Questions ### Does the request need a body or a key? No. The link is the secret. A plain POST is enough. ### What if my bot calls it in a loop? The cooldown ignores further calls until it runs out, so a loop rings you once per cooldown.
