# Smart Alerts

{% hint style="info" %}
Smart Alerts are different from the notification commands (`/nova`, `/bounty`, `/quest`, etc.). Those are toggle-based. Smart Alerts are **condition-based** — they trigger only when your specific criteria are met.
{% endhint %}

***

### How It Works

Simply describe the alert you want in plain English:

> *"Alert me when STX goes above $2"*\
> \&#xNAN;*"Notify me if there's a whale transfer over $100k on Stacks"*\
> \&#xNAN;*"Tell me when a new contract is deployed by SP123..."*

Nova will create a monitored alert that checks conditions and notifies you when triggered.

### Alert Types

You can create alerts for a wide range of blockchain events:

| **Price threshold**     | *"Alert me when WELSH drops below $0.001"*            |
| **Price change (%)**    | *"Notify me if STX moves more than 10% in an hour"*   |
| **Whale transfers**     | *"Watch for STX transfers over $50,000"*              |
