Integrations
Connect the tools you already use and receive their alerts on your phone.
BInformed can be plugged into existing tools. Three ready-made integrations are available today. They all use your personal API key, so the alerts land on your own phone — and each person keeps their own key.
What you need
- A BInformed account with a verified email address.
- The mobile app installed and signed in at least once, so that a device is registered on the account.
- Your personal API key (it starts with gn_), shown on the home page once you are signed in.
Zabbix
Send your Zabbix alerts as push notifications.
A problem is detected on one of your hosts, Zabbix triggers an action, and the notification arrives on the phone of the right person — together with a link that opens the matching event straight in Zabbix.
There is nothing to install on the server: the integration is a single media type file that you import from the Zabbix web interface. You then add the BInformed media to each user with their own API key, and create a trigger action that sends to BInformed. Ready-made message templates are included for problems, recoveries and acknowledgements.
Built and tested for Zabbix 7.4, and usable with 7.0 and 6.0 by changing a single line in the file. The notification title can carry the severity as text or as an emoji, and the link back to Zabbix can be turned off.
Home Assistant
Send your Home Assistant alerts as push notifications.
The integration adds a notification entity that you can pick directly in the automation editor, exactly like any other notification service. There is no configuration file to edit.
It is installed through HACS as a custom repository, or by copying the folder into your installation. You then add the BInformed integration from the settings and paste your API key: the notification entity is created and ready to use in your automations, scripts and dashboards.
Requires Home Assistant 2025.3 or newer. Error messages are translated (English and French) for the usual cases: revoked key, unverified account, rate limit reached, or service unreachable.
MQL — MetaTrader 4 and 5
Send notifications from your Expert Advisors, in MQL4 and MQL5.
For MetaTrader developers: a position that opens, a stop that triggers, an Expert Advisor that stops, a daily loss limit that is reached — a few lines are enough for your robot to warn you on your phone, wherever you are.
The integration is a single include file, BInformed.mqh, that you copy into the Include folder of your terminal and compile with MetaEditor. The same file works on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5: you set your API key, then call the notification function from your code.
One prerequisite in the terminal: authorise the BInformed address under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, otherwise the request is refused. Timeout, log level and a minimum delay between two notifications can be adjusted; sign-in by email and password is also supported, with the session renewed automatically.
Source code and full instructions
All three integrations are open source (MIT licence). The complete step-by-step instructions live in their repositories:
Something else to connect?
Any tool able to make an HTTPS call can send notifications through BInformed. The API documentation shows how, in a few lines. If you build an integration of your own, tell us about it — we would love to hear from you.
