Set a tide alarm
set_tide_alarmDestructive
Sets a tide alarm: it rings on the person's phone at a tide at the station nearest a place, or up to three hours before it: "low tide in Santa Cruz", "an hour before every high tide", "the next negative low tide", "every king tide". lowTide and highTide come about twice a day; negativeLow is a low tide below the chart's zero (the best tidepool days); kingTide is the year's highest tides. The tide is worked out from the station's tidal constants and rings for everyone at once. Once at the next one, or every one. People added to a friends alarm are notified. Returns the alarm, when it next rings, its link and a share picture.

}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. | |
| event | Yes | lowTide, highTide, negativeLow (a low tide below the zero, for tidepools) or kingTide (the year's highest tides). | |
| every | No | True rings at every one ("every low tide"); false rings at the next one only. | |
| place | No | A beach, harbour or coastal town, only when the person named one, "Santa Cruz". Left out, the person's own tide place is used. | |
| 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, "Tidepool morning". Write one that fits what they asked, fresh each time, 2 to 6 words (never just the time). When absent, LFG names it. | |
| 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. | |
| offset_minutes | No | Minutes before the tide: -60 is an hour before, 0 is at it. Up to three hours early. | |
| 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. |
