Set a drop alarm
set_drop_alarmSets an alarm that rings on the person's phone when an artist posts new music on SoundCloud: any new public track, or only an album or EP. Takes the artist's SoundCloud link, a profile or one of their tracks, never a name: many accounts share a name, so a name alone is refused. only_if narrows which drops ring it, in the person's words. LFG checks about every minute. When it rings, an LFG sound plays and the new track can be played in SoundCloud's own player. Returns the alarm and its link.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| note | No | A note from the person about the alarm, in their words, shown under its trigger on the alarm's page and in the Daily drop. Up to 500 characters; an empty note clears it. | |
| vibe | No | The feel of the alarm in a few words, and the kind of background and colour if the person named them: "fun poppy anime", "calm", "a simple bell", "hype for a token launch", "ocean waves, purple", "neon and chaotic". LFG picks a sound and a look from its library to match: a live, moving wallpaper when one fits, otherwise a drawn one. Wallpaper words given here replace the look's words; a colour given here makes it a plain gradient in that colour. | |
| brief | No | A brief on a schedule as well as the alarm: Rocco gathers on the topic through the day, and the brief arrives quietly at this time, as a notification and in the Daily Drop, never a ring. The phone still rings only when the alarm's own rule matches. Makes it a monitoring alarm. For a clock alarm whose ring brings the brief, use set_time_alarm with follow instead. | |
| reach | No | Who can join: private (only the person), friends (people on its list, or with its link), public (anyone; listed in Discover). | private |
| sound | No | The shelf of our library closest to the sound they asked for, read for what they mean: lo-fi or study beats is music/chill, "make it a vibe" might be music/chill, music/rnb or music/beats, hype me up is voices/hype_man, yelling at me is voices/drill_sergeant. "own" for one of their own uploads ("my song"). "soundcloud" when they asked for SoundCloud, or no shelf is close: a genre we have no shelf for (k-pop, drum and bass), or an artist or a song by name; put what to look for in song_search, and they play SoundCloud songs and tap one. Leave it out when they said nothing about the sound. A song from Apple Music, or a song or voiceover made for them: leave this out, make the alarm, and say they get it in the alarm's Studio, under its sound, after Arm it. Never say you will make one. The wallpaper follows the song unless one is asked for. | |
| theme | No | A theme or holiday: the alarm gets a song in its moods, a new alarm a title written for it, and a wallpaper dealt for it for variety, one of the theme's pictures, a GIF, a live wallpaper or a gradient. A vibe given as well shapes that ("cozy", "degen"); wallpaper words or a title given are kept. One of: birthday (Birthday), love (Love), night_out (Night out), shopping (Shopping), winter (Winter), christmas (Christmas), hanukkah (Hanukkah), diwali (Diwali), halloween (Halloween), thanksgiving (Thanksgiving), friendsgiving (Friendsgiving), new_years (New Year's Eve). | |
| title | No | Short name for the alarm. When absent, LFG names it from the artist. Up to 60 characters; it reads best under about 25. | |
| artist | Yes | The artist's SoundCloud link, "https://soundcloud.com/fredagain", or a link to one of their tracks. | |
| moment | No | track: any new public track (the default). album: only an album or EP. | |
| only_if | No | Words that narrow which drops ring it, as the person said them, "only a remix". Left out, every new drop rings. | |
| surprise | No | For a friends alarm: keep it a surprise. People who join see a curtain instead of its title, picture, sound and note until it rings. Free on every plan. | |
| link_mode | No | For a friends alarm, what its link does: open (anyone who opens the link rides along, the default) or approve (anyone else with the link asks first and the person says yes or no). Invited people walk straight in either way. | |
| add_groups | No | For a friends alarm: names of the person's friend groups whose members to let in, "Family". Members get a notification. | |
| add_people | No | For a friends alarm: up to 20 people to let in, as usernames of the person's LFG friends or as email addresses. Friends get a notification; an email address with no LFG account gets an invitation. Any other username is refused. | |
| gif_search | No | 2 to 5 plain words to search GIFs with, written for this alarm, "solana pump celebration", "sleepy cat monday": used if the look dealt is a GIF, which has no words of its own. Fill it whenever you make an alarm. | |
| look_words | No | Short words of your own for the wallpaper, written for this alarm, "SOL TO THE MOON", "EXAM DAY", "BEACH BY 6": used if the look dealt is a live wallpaper or a gradient, in place of its own words. 2 to 4 words. Unlike wallpaper_words, the look is still dealt. Fill it whenever you make an alarm. | |
| button_link | No | ||
| song_search | No | With "soundcloud": what to look for there, in their words, "k-pop", "fred again". | |
| upload_name | No | With "own": the name they gave the upload, "my dog picture". Left out, one of theirs is used. | |
| words_color | No | Colour of the words as hex, any colour, "#D7FF00". | |
| hide_trigger | No | Needed with surprise, true or false: whether to also keep back when and why it rings, so people who join only know that it will. A surprise is not made until it is given. | |
| snooze_times | No | How many times it can be snoozed: 3, 10 or unlimited. | |
| silent_snooze | No | true to snooze without the spoken roast LFG plays by default. | |
| snooze_minutes | No | Minutes each snooze lasts: 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60. | |
| wallpaper_kind | No | Only when they named a kind: a gradient, a live (moving) wallpaper, a gif or meme, or "own" for one of their own uploads ("my wallpaper", "the picture I uploaded"). Left out, LFG deals one of every kind in turn. | |
| send_beacons_to | No | A webhook the person got from the other side (a Discord channel's hook, a Zapier catch hook, their own agent's address): every beacon on this alarm is POSTed there as JSON, signed with the alarm's horn token. Public https only. An empty string stops it. | |
| wallpaper_color | No | Wallpaper background colour as hex, any colour, "#5B2BFF". | |
| wallpaper_words | No | Words drawn on the wallpaper, "WAKE UP"; a line break starts a new line. Up to 40 characters; it looks best as 1 to 4 short words, since the words are drawn as large as the square allows. | |
| people_confirmed | No | Whether the person has confirmed the people and groups being added. Nobody is added or told without it. |
