Looking for a way to add mobile alerts without building a separate app?

I am still fairly new to this community and have been building out a few factor screens here in Portfolio123. What I keep running into is that I have to log in on a laptop to check when a screen or ranking changes, which is not practical for me during the workday. I want something that can send a simple push notification to my phone when a condition is met.

I have looked at some no-code and AI app builder options, including a few that claim cross-platform output, but I am unsure whether any of them can actually connect to the kind of data and triggers I use here. The concern is that I would spend time on setup and end up with something that only handles static content, not scheduled checks.

Has anyone here set up a lightweight mobile notification layer for their Portfolio123 screens? What did you use, and what should I watch out for in terms of scheduling and API limits? I would appreciate input from people who have actually done this.

Screens do not change during the day. Screens use an overnight data update and there are no changes in the data until the next night (when the market is closed).

I was going to say screens are deterministic and do not change during the day but are ties in the ranking system handled differently with each run during the day? Maybe you are seeing changes. Maybe P123 needs to weigh in on that. But even so, any changes would just be random and not based on new data.

sophiascott raises a good point: with overnight data updates, a screen's output is basically fixed until the next night, so pushing an alert "when a screen changes" during the day may not catch much. A more useful trigger is probably a scheduled check right after the update, or a price/condition check on the tickers the screen surfaces. Worth confirming that distinction before building anything, since it changes what the alert is actually for. On the tooling side, a lightweight route is a scheduled job that queries your criteria and sends a push via a notification service, but watch out for how often you're allowed to poll and how API limits apply.
