Smart Alerts let you create custom, conditional monitoring through natural language — no dashboards or forms needed. Just tell Nova what you want to watch, and it handles the rest.
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.
How It Works
Simply describe the alert you want in plain English:
"Alert me when STX goes above $2""Notify me if there's a whale transfer over $100k on Stacks""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:
Alert Type
Example
Price threshold
"Alert me when WELSH drops below $0.001"

DEX activity
"Alert on swaps over $10k on ALEX"
New token pairs
"Tell me when new pools are created"

Contract deployment
"Notify me of new contracts deployed on Stacks"
