Thank you Ben for hunting PingBell! I have been building different SaaS products for over a decade now, partnering with talented people around the globe. Each product funnel converts slightly differently and keeping everyone in the loop on our business progress simply takes too much time. Not everyone is on slack. Each team uses different tools and I felt we needed a simple way to keep everyone informed. So I went back to basics, and remembered a point earlier in my career where we had a gong in the business department. Every time someone closed a deal, that sales person would walk up to it and ring it, announcing to the entire company, a sale was just made. That ritual will forever be remembered as the pulse of the company. So I went to the drawing board with one of my teams and specified the following requirements 1. I wanted to get notified about my most important KPI in each product, in a fun way that would put a smile on my face and the people around me whenever it happens. 2. I also wanted to be able to share it with my different team members and stakeholders in each project. 3. I wanted to have a simple bird's eye graph of how many conversions we got in each product over a 24 hour, 7 day and 30 day time frames. 4. Lastly I wanted each notification to carry a different custom sound so it would be easy to identify the conversion without having to look at my phone. So with those requirements we went to work and after several months of back and forth came up with PingBell - a virtual sales gong that utilizes push notifications and does all of the above (and a bit more!). PingBell was built in a way that only requires several minutes to set up. It is easily integrated with any spp, website or form through a webhook, and we also made it available on zapier, so that you can easily connect it to over 5000 apps. Once a PingBell is created it can then be shared with an unlimited number of people (think beyond your team members - investors, advisors, coach, family members, friends, etc) so that they can all be a part of your success. Furthermore each PingBell can also receive an unlimited amount of notifications, so you can rest assured that no matter what volume of conversions you'll get, you're covered! What’s so special about PingBell? 1. You can customize the sounds 2. The people you share with don’t need to be on any app like slack. I personally know many people that have abandoned slack or never signed up for it at all (for example investors, executives, friends or family) simply because it was overwhelming to keep up with all of the mundane notifications. 3. You can see 24-Hour, 7 & 30 -Day notification reports - a quick and easy check up on how many times your conversion has happened. What kind of notifications can PingBell alert you on? Basically, any. If a webhook can transmit an alert, PingBell can broadcast it! What type of KPIs are the most popular? Every business is different but PingBell is ideal for teams that want to be notified when new Sales, Subscriptions, Sign-Ups, Lead Submissions, Downloads, Installs, New followers or even website downtimes occur! How does it integrate? Simple, you can either input each PingBell's notification URL directly into a webhook OR use our Zapier integration to connect PingBell to more than 5,000 popular apps! What's on the roadmap? Our road map is jammed with great features such as using your own sound bits, dynamic passthrough of variables to the description, extended analytics, email notifications and more. Some will be available to all users, others will only be available to premium users. Is there a Product Hunt special deal? The first PingBell is offered 100% free - no CC necessary. If you would like however to manage more than 1 PingBell AND access all of the sound bits we have made available, a premium subscription is required. BUT - for Product Hunt users we are offering a 20% discount for life on our Team and Business plans. Upgrading to a premium account will let you manage more PingBells and provide you with full access to all of the sound bits we have available. On behalf of the PingBell team I would like to invite you to try PingBell and welcome your feedback & questions. Cheers! Yoav
