Installation of the Grafana Oncall Mobile app

Mobile app download:

Connect your Grafana OnCall account using deeplink authentication

You can connect your Grafana OnCall account to the mobile app using a deeplink authentication. This method is useful because it allows you to connect your account using only your mobile device.

Open Grafana OnCall from your mobile device
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner
Click on the IRM tab
Click on the Sign in button

Once the scan is successful, your mobile app is connected to OnCall

Where can I find my QR code?

To access your QR code:

Open Grafana OnCall from your desktop
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner
Click on the IRM tab

Note: The QR code will timeout for security purposes - Screenshots of the QR code are unlikely to work for authentication.

Connect to your open source Grafana OnCall account

Grafana OnCall OSS relies on Grafana Cloud OnCall as on relay for push notifications. You must first connect your Grafana OnCall OSS to Grafana Cloud OnCall for the mobile app to work.

To connect to Grafana Cloud OnCall, refer to the Cloud page in your OSS Grafana OnCall instance.

For Grafana OnCall OSS, the QR code includes an authentication token along with a backend URL. Your Grafana OnCall OSS instance should be reachable from the same network as your mobile device, preferably from the internet.

Connect to multiple OnCall stacks

The OnCall mobile app provides a seamless experience for managing multiple OnCall stacks/accounts.

With just a few taps, you can add and switch between different stacks, ensuring you have access to all your alerts and schedules without the need to log in and out repeatedly. This feature is designed to support professionals managing multiple projects or working across different teams, enhancing efficiency and response times.
