Sending Your First Notification
Updated on March 31, 2026
Send a test notification directly from the Signalgrid dashboard
Before integrating Signalgrid into your services or scripts, it is a good idea to send a test notification. This allows you to confirm that your devices are registered correctly and that notifications are delivered as expected.
Sending a Notification
You can send notifications directly from the Signalgrid dashboard. This feature is available on every platform — iOS, Android, and the web dashboard. Simply open the dashboard and use the notification form to send a test message.
Notification Fields
When sending a notification from the dashboard, you need to provide the following information:
Field
Description
Title
The main headline of the notification.
Body
The message content of the notification.
Channel
Select the channel that should receive the notification.
Critical
Optional setting to deliver the notification as a critical alert.
How It Works
Notifications sent from the dashboard behave exactly the same as notifications sent through the Signalgrid API. The dashboard simply uses the same API internally to create and deliver the notification.
This makes the dashboard a convenient way to test your setup before integrating Signalgrid into your applications or automation workflows.
Next Steps
Now that your setup is working and you can successfully send notifications, the next step is integrating Signalgrid into your services.
