# OpenAI fine-tuning job finished notifications on your phone

> Get a push notification when an OpenAI fine-tuning job succeeds, fails or is cancelled, louder when it fails.

- Company: OpenAI (https://www.justpush.io/recipes/openai)
- Event: `fine_tuning.job.succeeded` (fine_tuning.job.succeeded, fine_tuning.job.failed and fine_tuning.job.cancelled)
- Tags: AI & LLMs, Cron & background jobs
- Install: https://studio.justpush.io/recipes/openai/fine-tuning
- Web page: https://www.justpush.io/recipes/openai/fine-tuning

## Setup

1. Click Install in Studio and sign in. The recipe is added to your account and you get a personal webhook URL.
2. In the OpenAI platform, open Settings > Project > Webhooks (platform.openai.com/settings/project/webhooks) and click Create.
3. Give the endpoint a name and paste your webhook URL (shown in Studio after install) as the URL.
4. Tick the fine_tuning.job.succeeded, fine_tuning.job.failed and fine_tuning.job.cancelled event types and save. Webhooks are per project, so repeat this for each project you want pushes from.
5. Tick **fine_tuning.job.succeeded**, **fine_tuning.job.failed** and **fine_tuning.job.cancelled** (or only the ones you want).
6. OpenAI's webhook only carries the job ID, so the push says which job finished and links to it in the dashboard. Get the model name with `GET /v1/fine_tuning/jobs/{id}` (`fine_tuned_model`).
7. Only want to hear about failures? Add `?failures=1` to the URL:
8. ```
9. your webhook URL (shown in Studio after install)?failures=1
10. ```
11. The **Send test event** option on the webhook page sends a sample event with a made-up ID (such as `ftjob_abc123`), so the button on that push won't find a job.
12. OpenAI signs every delivery (Standard Webhooks: `webhook-id`, `webhook-timestamp`, `webhook-signature`), but JustPush doesn't check that signature yet, so keep your endpoint URL private.

## Code

Studio calls `handleRequest(request)` with the incoming webhook (`{ method, headers, body, query, raw }`) and sends the message object it returns. Returning `null` sends nothing.

```js
// OpenAI → fine_tuning.job.succeeded / fine_tuning.job.failed / fine_tuning.job.cancelled
// Fires when a fine-tuning job finishes, fails or is cancelled.
// Docs: https://developers.openai.com/api/reference/resources/webhooks
//
// OpenAI only sends the job ID (data.id). The push links to the job in the dashboard.

// Each event, how to word it, and how loud to be.
const EVENTS = {
    "fine_tuning.job.succeeded": {
        title: "✅ Fine-tuning finished",
        text: "succeeded. Your fine-tuned model is ready to use",
        priority: -1, // Low: good news you were waiting for
        failure: false,
    },
    "fine_tuning.job.failed": {
        title: "❌ Fine-tuning failed",
        text: "failed. Check the job's error and events",
        priority: 1, // High: the training run you paid for didn't produce a model
        failure: true,
    },
    "fine_tuning.job.cancelled": {
        title: "🚫 Fine-tuning cancelled",
        text: "was cancelled",
        priority: -1, // Low: someone cancelled it on purpose
        failure: false,
    },
}

// Table lookup that ignores inherited names such as "toString".
function pick(table, key, fallback) {
    return typeof key === "string" && Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(table, key) ? table[key] : fallback
}

// Only link to real http(s) URLs.
function link(url, cta) {
    return typeof url === "string" && /^https?:\/\//.test(url) ? [{ cta, url }] : []
}

// OpenAI IDs look like "ftjob-abc123"; anything else isn't used in text or links.
function cleanId(value) {
    return typeof value === "string" && /^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,128}$/.test(value) ? value : null
}

function handleRequest(request) {
    const body = request.body && typeof request.body === "object" ? request.body : {}
    const event = pick(EVENTS, body.type, null)

    // Guard: only fine-tuning job events, so other OpenAI events on this integration stay quiet.
    if (!event) {
        console.log(`Ignoring OpenAI "${typeof body.type === "string" ? body.type : "unknown"}" event`)
        return null
    }

    // ?failures=1 on the webhook URL only pushes failed jobs.
    const failuresOnly = ["1", "true", "yes"].includes(String(request.query?.failures ?? "").toLowerCase())
    if (failuresOnly && !event.failure) {
        console.log(`Skipping ${body.type} (failures only)`)
        return null
    }

    const id = cleanId(body.data?.id)

    return {
        title: event.title,
        message: `${id ? `Job ${id}` : "A fine-tuning job"} ${event.text}.`,
        topic: "OpenAI",
        priority: event.priority,
        buttons: link(id ? `https://platform.openai.com/finetune/${id}` : "https://platform.openai.com/finetune", "View job"),
    }
}
```

## FAQ

### Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Install the JustPush app from the App Store or Google Play and sign in. Every phone signed in to your account gets the notification.

### Do I need to write code?

No. Install the recipe in Studio, paste your webhook URL into OpenAI and you are done. The code is there if you want to change the text, the sound or the buttons.

### Can I change what the notification says?

Yes. After install the recipe's code is yours. Edit it in Studio and test it against the sample payload before you save.

### What does it cost?

JustPush is free for 30 days. After that it's $19.99 a year, or $39.99 once. There is no extra charge for recipes.
