Direct Connection with Alertatron Using Webhook

This document explains how to connect the TrendSpider Alerts to an external platform- Alertatron via webhook. This will allow sending alert messages from TrendSpider to Alertatron and even execute the automated trading.

Step 1: Navigate to the Account on the bottom left corner of the dashboard and select webhook details from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: You will be navigated to the new webpage providing you with your unique incoming webhook address.

Sample Incoming Webhook URL:

The alert configured in TrendSpider will be channeled to Alertatron and can be further sent to other platforms like Telegram or Discord. By default, all the incoming alerts are redirected to the Alertatron’s inbox but you can create specific groups/folders/labels for categorizing and forwarding the alerts.

For example, a Telegram group can be created, and then you can decide to filter out some specific messages from your inbox to send them to the Telegram.

Based on the cryptocurrency exchange you use, you will need to build its connection with the Alertatron via API. The documentation listed in the table below provides the steps to generate the API Keys for the specific cryptocurrency exchange and add those keys to Alertatron.

After connecting your cryptocurrency exchange account to Alertatron, the three-stage flow will need to take the effect:

Stage I: TrendSpider triggers an alert or event and sends it to Alertatron via webhook (Please refer to the first section of this document)

Stage II: Alertatron captures the information and interprets the action to be performed based on the command values you have entered in the Webhook body.

You can add the special commands in the Webhook Body (alert message) that Alertatron’s automated trading bot can interpret.

Example of a special command:

MyKeys(XBTUSD) { market(side=buy, amount=100); }

#bot

Please refer to the documentation- Basic Concepts to understand how to read the aforesaid example. This documentation also sheds light on command values, chaining commands, and max execution time.

Stage III: The special command specified in the Webhook body is executed by the Alertatron’s trading bot on your linked cryptocurrency exchange account

TrendSpider Dynamic and Multi-Factor Alerts

You can configure Webhook alert settings in TrendSpider to send an HTTP POST request to a URL for receiving the notifications. Simply enter the incoming Webhook URL where POST requests should be sent. In this case, you can enter the Alertatron incoming Webhook URL.

For more information, please refer to the documentation- Webhooks

TIP: “You can add the Webhook message in the Your Note field while setting up the Dynamic Alerts or Multi-Factor Alerts.”

TrendSpider Trading Bot Alerts

Selecting Webhook as the notification mode for receiving the alerts whenever the trading bot enters or exits a position will require you to define the Webhook Incoming URL and Webhook Body.

Enabling this will instruct TrendSpider to send HTTP POST requests to the webhook you provide. For example, if you want TrendSpider to send the alerts to Alertatron, then you will need to enter the Alertatron Incoming Webhook URL and define the Webhook Body in the acceptable format.
