Quickstart
Your first alert in four steps
Create an account, connect monitoring and a phone, then test delivery.
-
Open the web console
For Cloud, sign up. For your own infrastructure, install Acktide Free and follow the instructions to create an administrator.
-
Connect monitoring
Create a source in the console and add its webhook URL to your monitoring system. Set up an Acktide route to specify who receives the alerts.
-
Connect your phone
Install the Android app. In the console, open Settings → Connect Android, scan the QR code and open Acktide. Check the server address, tap Connect phone, and allow notifications and background operation.
For a self-hosted installation, the phone must be able to reach the server’s HTTPS address.
-
Send a test alert
Lock your phone and check the notification. Tap ACK; your name should appear in the console. When the service recovers, your monitoring system should send a resolved event to close the alert.
