How to make my phone ring/alert from a desktop application?

I use teams now for this stuff, I used to use slack. I use either logic apps or flow to kick off the message.
Zapier and IFTTT just are not in the same league, and flow while it freaks people out ( i dont know why ) is very easy to use. You can literally create a flow, drop a slack or teams box under the trigger and that is it.
I do websites that trap finance applications, the workflow after that is about 6 steps, ive got a teams bot that sends me a range of activity cards on teams when an event takes place or a decision is needed. The buttons are on the messages it sends. "do this", "SMS back this", "send here". Can basically work from the pub.Comment

And then call the webhook like this
Code:curl -X POST -H Content-type: application/json --data {"text":"04:09:44 databaseName backups started"} https://hooks.slack.com/services/*********/*********/*********************

A little OTT but hey I'm a coder it's a fun thing to do. I'd not considered linking to a bot but it presumably does a lot of the comms stuff 'for free' using code someone else has tested for you.

I was idly thinking about the ability to make it 2-way so I can save time. e.g. Elon tweets something stupid at 2am and TSLA starts to crash, you get an alert "you might want to sell" and a way to action that with one button rather than fire up your PC, log in to your broker app, set up the trade.

The bot really is just a number of methods that I can trigger by HTTP that create the cards, and a big switch that takes the replies and calls a range of logic apps. Bot is kind of over selling what ive got but that is the technical name for it. Rather than write a front end, ive just embded all my front end use case triggers in teams and present the range of actions available depending on state.Comment

Adaptive cards are really sweet now. I dont know how far you can push getting a whole system front end in it, then the operator/user just actions stuff in a conversation...
