Your scripts and workflows send structured records to a managed inbox. Sources, tags, exact metadata filters and read/archive state give you a consistent way to review activity across projects. ### How do I connect my projects? Create a source in FYInbox and use its API key to send an HTTP request from your script, agent or workflow. Include a title, tags, metadata and links to the run. Results from your sources appear in the same inbox. ### Can FYInbox notify me on mobile? Yes. Enable Web Push on a supported browser or installed web app, choose which sources alert that device, and control whether alerts show their content. On iPhone and iPad, add FYInbox to your Home Screen first. Opening an alert takes you to its notification or grouped source in FYInbox. ### How does FYInbox help me follow up? Filter by source, tag or exact metadata to find related results. Open a notification to inspect its details and follow its links to logs or reports. Mark it as read or archive it when you are done; that state stays with your account across devices. ### Who is FYInbox for? FYInbox is for people and agents working across projects that produce automated notifications. Scripts, scheduled jobs and workflows report to one inbox, so their results are available together outside Slack, Telegram and email. Agents can send results and retrieve a known notification using its source key. ## Sources - [Publishing and actions](https://docs.ntfy.sh/publish/) — ntfy; verified 2026-09-08. - [Hosted plans](https://ntfy.sh/v1/tiers) — ntfy; verified 2026-09-08. - [Release notes](https://docs.ntfy.sh/releases/) — ntfy; verified 2026-09-08. - [Integrations](https://docs.ntfy.sh/integrations/) — ntfy; verified 2026-09-08.
