# Alerts

Set up keyword-based alerts so you never miss a signal that matters to you.

### How Alerts Work

Instead of watching the feed 24/7, create alerts for specific topics. When Glint detects a signal matching your keywords, you'll get a notification delivered to your preferred channel.

### Setting Up an Alert

<figure><img src="/files/G3Eskmfau0sH10TojPYD" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Go to [glint.trade/alerts](https://glint.trade/alerts)
2. Click **Create Alert**
3. Enter your **keywords** (e.g., "Fed rate cut", "Bitcoin ETF", "Trump tariff")
4. Choose your **delivery channel** (Telegram or Discord)
5. Optionally set a **minimum impact level** (Critical, High, Medium, or All)
6. Save

### Keyword Matching

* Keywords are matched against the full signal text
* Multiple keywords in a single alert use OR logic (any match triggers)
* Keywords are case-insensitive
* Use quotes for exact phrases (e.g., `"rate cut"` won't match "rate of cutting")

### Alert Content

When an alert fires, you'll receive:

* The signal text
* Source and timestamp
* Impact level and category
* Matched Polymarket contract with current odds
* Direct link to the signal in Glint

### Delivery Channels

| Channel      | Setup                                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Telegram** | Connect your Telegram account in Alert settings      |
| **Discord**  | Add the Glint bot to your Discord server via webhook |

### Tips

* Start broad, then narrow. It's better to get a few extra alerts than miss an important signal.
* Set Critical-only alerts for high-volume topics (e.g., "Bitcoin") to avoid noise.
* Create separate alerts for different trading strategies — one for geopolitics, one for crypto, one for macro.

### Limits

* Alert delivery is near-instant, typically within seconds of signal detection
* There is no hard limit on the number of alerts you can create, but excessive keyword overlap may result in duplicate notifications
