Celebrating milestones and tracking KPIs in real time matters more than most teams realize. The scoreboards in Silicon Valley and The Social Network aren’t just set decoration — they’re the kind of cultural mechanic that turns a quiet office into a focused one.
PingBell’s counter view (sometimes called the celebration page) is the digital version. Every PingBell you create comes with a customizable counter that visualizes the metric you care about — orders, signups, donations, followers — in real time, on whichever screen you point it at.
What is the counter view?
A dedicated, browsable, brandable page that displays your live counter. Drop it on a TV in the office, embed it on a landing page for social proof, or use it as a browser source on a live stream.
Every PingBell gets its own counter view automatically. No extra setup.
How to set it up
1. Create your PingBell
Sign in to app.pingbell.io and click the button in the middle of the dashboard if you’ve never created a PingBell before. (If you have, click the bell icon at the bottom right to make a new one.)
Set a title and description — these show up on every notification and on the counter view itself.
Pick a sound. PingBell’s library has 70+ built-in options — preview a few before settling on the one that fits.
Click Create. You’ll be prompted to invite teammates by email or PingBell username; they receive every notification on their own phones at no extra cost.
2. Connect it to a trigger
Three options:
- Direct webhook. Click the three dots next to your PingBell and Copy URL. Paste that URL into the webhook field of any tool that supports outbound webhooks (Shopify, Stripe via Stripe Connect, WooCommerce via the plugin, custom apps).
- Zapier. Use your PingBell API key (user icon → Settings) to authenticate Zapier, then build a Zap with any of 6,000+ apps as the trigger and Notify PingBell as the action.
- Pabbly Connect. Same idea as Zapier with Pabbly’s smaller but cheaper integration set.
3. Customize the counter view
Click the celebration icon next to your PingBell. Hover the right edge of the screen to reveal the settings menu.
- Choose a message style. Static title (always shows), disappearing message (briefly on each notification), or disappearing bubble (same with a more visual effect)
- Pick which PingBells to display. A counter view can show one PingBell or rotate through several
- Position elements. Drag the counter, message, and logo anywhere on the page
- Customize the look. Pick any Google Font, set background / font / counter / counter-text colors
Creative uses for the counter view
The counter view is just a webpage, which means it works wherever a webpage works:
- Office TV. Plug a streaming stick into any TV and open the counter URL
- Embedded landing-page widget. iframe the counter into your marketing site as social proof
- Live-stream overlay. Use it as an OBS browser source with a chroma-keyed green background — we have a step-by-step guide for OBS
- Conference talk display. Project the counter alongside your slides during a launch announcement
Why this matters
Counters do for digital business what the bell on a sales floor does for a brick-and-mortar one — they make the moment audible and visible. Wins stop being silent. The team feels the trajectory of the day.
