Why SIGNL4
Flic buttons, provide a quick and simple possibility to trigger any kind of action at a push of a button. The button connects to the Flic hub or to an android phone via low-energy Bluetooth. Pairing one or more Flic buttons with SIGNL4 can enhance your daily operations with an extension to your mobile team in the field or on the shop floor.
How it Works
All it takes to pair the Flic button and SIGNL4 is the Flic button, SIGNL4 and an Android phone with the Flic app (or optionally the Flic hub). The setup is super easy and you can integrate and get your first alert in less than 15 minutes.

In the Flic app, select Internet Request and then choose HTTP Post.
As URL you enter your SIGNL4 REST API URL including the team secret.
The Body is any JSON you would like to pass as alert notification.

Now you can press the button and the SIGNL4 HTTP request is triggered. You will then receive the notification on your phone.
ALERT OPTIMIZATION
SIGNL4 can further increase the visibility of alerts through its Signals and Services section. Augmenting the color and icon of alerts will provide more relevant information at a glance without having to open the alert.
