Alerts

Alerts can be used to make a chart to monitor changes in the data. Basically, this enables a user being notified once certain value is reached on a chart.

📘
Alerts are supported on 4 types of charts:

Line

Bar

Area

Combo

There are 3 supported notification channels:

Email

Telegram

Discord

The following will describe how to set up the alerts.

How to create an alert (email example)

1. First create a line chart.
As an example, we will make a chart reflecting Opensea marketplace volume changes grouped by an hour.

2. Set the goal value on the chart

The setting of the goal value is a necessary step to trigger an alert. To do it in Visualization-> Setting -> Display enable the goal line, fill in the goal value. As a result a dotted line appears on the graph.

3. Create an alert on the chart
Once the chart is saved, click the alert icon 🔘 in the bottom right corner of the chart.

4. Alert is emitted once condition is met
Footprint begins executing the request at the specified interval and, if the specified condition is reached, an alert will arrive on the appropriate specified channel. In the example above all alerts were set up to be sent to an email
