StatusedQuickstart
Get up and running with Statused in under 10 minutes. This quickstart covers the essential steps to start receiving app status notifications.
Overview
Manually checking app stores or waiting around for an email is the worst. Statused fixes that by giving your team real-time notifications about what’s actually happening — so your engineers don’t have to.
No more guessing if your build is ready for testing, got rejected, or wondering if that production release actually made it to users. We monitor your apps and tell your team (or CI system) exactly when things happen and what actions to take.
If you're ready to get started, let's get right into it!
Create Your Account
Sign up for Statused and start your free trial, if you haven't already.
Connect Your App Store
You'll need admin access to your app store console for this step. Choose your platform:
iOS Apps (App Store Connect)
Follow our step-by-step guide to create the API key needed to monitor your Apple platform apps.
Android Apps (Google Play Console)
Set up a service account to enable monitoring for your Android apps on Google Play.
New to API keys?
Don't worry, our guides include helpful screenshots and clear step-by-step instructions. Most teams finish this in under 5 minutes! 🚀
Set Up Slack Notifications
Time to choose where you want notifications delivered. Most teams start with Slack since it's where development conversations already happen.
Head to our Slack Integration page and follow the integration flow to connect your workspace.
Using something else?
We also support Discord and custom webhooks. If you need another integration, let us know! We prioritize based on user requests.
Create Your First Workflow
Here's where the magic happens: setting up your first automated notification workflow.
Free trial required: Make sure you've started your trial at Billing to create workflows.
- In your dashboard, navigate to Workflows › Add Workflow
- Give it a descriptive name like
YourAppName Production → #eng-ios-releases - Select your API key, app, choose your destination, and fill in the other required details
- For Android apps, we recommend informing us whether Managed Publishing is enabled. More on that in our Google Play Email Forwarding Guide.
- Notice that you can see a live preview of your workflow configuration at the bottom of the page, as you configure it.
- Hit Add Workflow when you're happy with your configuration
