Built-in sources: - Stripe (payments, refunds, disputes, subscription events) - Cal.com (bookings, reschedules, cancellations) - Hatchbox (failed deploys) - StatusCake (site down, site up) - Custom curl endpoint (anything that can POST JSON) - pingrb CLI (Claude, agents, shell scripts, cron jobs) How it works: 1. Sign in at pingrb.com (free). 2. Pick a source. Copy the webhook URL or curl command. 3. Pushes arrive on this app instantly. Tap any push to jump to the source. CLI install (free, Homebrew): $ brew install ruby-native/tap/pingrb $ pingrb "deploy finished" One price, no subscription. Pay $9.99 once for unlimited pushes.
