PHP

Send events from any PHP application, including Laravel, WordPress themes, and plain PHP.

Using cURL

<?php
 
function sendFlowAlert(string $event, string $title, string $body = '', string $priority = 'NORMAL'): void {
    $payload = json_encode([
        'event'    => $event,
        'title'    => $title,
        'body'     => $body,
        'priority' => $priority,
    ]);
 
    $ch = curl_init('https://api.flowalert.io/v1/events');
    curl_setopt_array($ch, [
        CURLOPT_POST           => true,
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => $payload,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => [
            'Content-Type: application/json',
            'X-Api-Key: ' . $_ENV['FLOWALERT_API_KEY'],
        ],
    ]);
 
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $status   = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($ch);
 
    if ($status !== 201) {
        error_log('FlowAlert error: ' . $response);
    }
}
 
// Usage
sendFlowAlert('booking.created', 'New Booking — John Smith', 'Sunset Cruise · 4 guests');
sendFlowAlert('payment.failed', 'Payment failed', 'Order #5512 — card declined', 'HIGH');

Laravel example

<?php
 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
 
// In a service or controller
Http::withHeaders([
    'X-Api-Key' => config('services.flowalert.key'),
])->post('https://api.flowalert.io/v1/events', [
    'event'    => 'order.created',
    'title'    => "New Order #{$order->id}",
    'body'     => "Total: {$order->total} · {$order->customer_name}",
    'priority' => 'NORMAL',
]);

Add to your config/services.php:

'flowalert' => [
    'key' => env('FLOWALERT_API_KEY'),
],

💡

Store your API key in your .env file as FLOWALERT_API_KEY. Never commit it to version control.
