Pulse FAQs

Question 1

What are some common use cases for Pulse?

Accepted Answer

Pulse is ideal for real-time CI/CD result notifications, automatic build error reporting, deployment status updates, cron job outcome alerts, and server monitoring – essentially any local process that can make an HTTP call to notify your Claude Code session.

Question 2

What are the main benefits of using Pulse?

Accepted Answer

Pulse streamlines your development workflow by automating critical alerts (e.g., CI/CD failures, build errors, deployments, cron job results) directly into your Claude Code session, eliminating manual checks and dependencies on external chat tools.

Question 3

What is Pulse and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Pulse is a Claude Code plugin that injects real-time external notifications directly into your Claude Code sessions via a simple HTTP POST API. It leverages Claude Code's Channels protocol to bypass external messengers like Discord or Slack.

Question 4

Does Pulse require any external messaging services or accounts?

Accepted Answer

No, Pulse is designed to be entirely self-contained for local use. It works by direct HTTP POST requests to your local Claude Code session, completely bypassing the need for external chat platforms, bot tokens, or accounts.

Question 5

Can I customize the notifications sent by Pulse?

Accepted Answer

Yes, notifications are highly customizable. You can define the `text` content, specify a `source` (e.g., ci, deploy, cron), and set a `level` (info, warn, error) using a simple HTTP POST request to the Pulse API.
