Why FYInbox

A mobile alert can tell you an import failed. FYInbox also keeps the run ID, environment and log link where you can find them later: one inbox for people and agents, outside chat and email, with optional Web Push.

Built around your projects

Keep a central record you can return to after dismissing a mobile alert. Filter notifications by source, tag or exact metadata, open the linked run, and keep your review state in the same account across devices.

In practice

Send a failed import with its run ID, environment and log URL. Receive a push on an enabled device, open the notification, then use those fields to find related results when you return to your desk.

Project history

Keep a central record you can return to after dismissing a mobile alert. Filter notifications by source, tag or exact metadata, open the linked run, and keep your review state in the same account across devices.

Setup and follow-up

Send a result from your project, find it in the inbox, and follow its link when you need to investigate.

  • Connect each project with a source key and send structured results over HTTP.
  • Find related results with source, tag and exact metadata filters; open follow-up links to inspect the original run.
  • Choose which sources alert each device through Web Push, while keeping the full record in your inbox.
