How To Integrate
Integrating SIGNL4 with Workato
SIGNL4 is a mobile alert notification app for powerful alerting, alert management and mobile assignment of work items. Get the app at https://www.signl4.com.
In the recipe below we send information from Airtable to SIGNL4. For example, this can be a service request or work order.
Prerequisites
A SIGNL4 (https://www.signl4.com) account
A Workato (https://www.workato.com) account
An Airtable (https://airtable.com) account (optional for our example)
Integration Steps
1. SIGNL4 Integration
In Workato you can create a new recipe with Airtable as a trigger.
The recipe is triggered each time when a new entry in Airtable is created.
As action you can now use the native SIGNL4 integration available here:

You just need to configure your SIGNL4 team-secret and you can send static text as well as dynamic content from the previous steps.
2. Test It
Start the recipe and when the SIGNL4 action is executed, an alarm will be sent to your SIGNL4 team.
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.
Change Alert Color and Override Title + Text
Override text, colors and titles are triggered by keywords set within the mobile app.
