The **device is online?** block doesn’t check for a connection though, just if it is connected to WiFi, which in 99.99% of cases has internet.

THen the solution is to check any website with api. probably google. if you get an error, then fire the alert?

I believe this is the only option, but if your app uses Firebase etc you could have a button set to display after 10 seconds of loading, with the message “check server status” then link to Firebase/Airtable/etc’s server status page.

You could just call a get in Firebase with the tag set to “/”, and if error then no connection. You would call this function every 5 or 7 seconds., or just on startup
