Complete Workflow

This guide connects all setup pieces in the recommended order.

Audience

This page is optimized for operational setup. If you need direct API testing and payload examples, use Quick Start in the Developer Guide.

Step 1: Create your account

Start in the mobile app and sign up/sign in with your email account.

• Open the app and complete authentication.
• Confirm your session is active.
• Open the Settings/Profile tab.

Continue with Create Account.

Step 2: Create an API key in mobile

Create a dedicated API key for your WordPress/plugin integration.

• Go to Profile -> API Keys.
• Create a named key (for example: wordpress-prod).
• Choose type WordPress (wordpress_server).
• Copy and store the key securely.

If you also use the public endpoint, create a second key with type Public API (public_client).

Continue with Create API Key (Mobile).

Key type matters

Use wordpress_server for the WordPress plugin. Use public_client for the public-notify endpoint.

Step 3: Configure WordPress plugin

Install and configure the plugin with your function endpoint and API key.

• Set function URL to your deployed wpnotif-api endpoint.
• Paste a WordPress key (wordpress_server).
• Add monitors and run a test notification.

Continue with WordPress Plugin Setup.

Step 4: Add plugin templates and hook integrations

If you are a plugin/theme developer and want deeper integration:

• Create reusable scenario templates that appear in Notificator UI.
• Emit hooks from your plugin and let Notificator send notifications when they fire.

Continue with:

• Plugin Template Creation
• Plugin Hooks Notifications

Step 5: Configure app settings

Tune notifications, security, and home widgets from mobile settings.

• Enable push for current device.
• Review notification preferences.
• Configure 2FA and visibility options.

Continue with App Settings Guide.

Step 5b: Configure Early Access device (optional)

If you use the physical Early Access ESP32 device:

• Add the device in mobile app Devices.
• Set idle theme (Clock, Weather, or Weather & Clock).
• Configure weather location/timezone as needed.

Continue with Early Access Device Setup.

Step 6: Validate external API flow

Use OpenAPI and samples to test your public-notify payloads.

Optional developer validation

This final step is optional for no-code-only users and intended for teams validating external integrations.

• Use a Public API key (public_client) for public-notify requests.

• Quick Start

• Code Samples

• Public Notify API
