Setting Up the Payload

1. Log in to your TakeProfit account.
2. Create a new alert or edit an existing one.
3. Configure the alert conditions:
   • Specify the required parameters: ticker, exchange, trigger condition, etc.
4. Add the Webhook:
   • In the notifications section, select the Webhook URL option.
   • Paste the Webhook URL from Discord into the appropriate field.
5. Set up the Payload:
   • In the Message field, enter the JSON with the necessary parameters.

​

Forming Messages Using Variables

• {{ticker}} — The instrument’s ticker.
• {{exchange}} — Exchange name.
• {{condition_type}} — Type of trigger condition.
• {{condition_source_1}} — Condition source (e.g., price).

{
	"content": "🔔 Alert: {{ticker}} on {{exchange}} — {{condition_type}} {{close}}"
}

​

Configuration Examples

​

Example 1: Simple Text Message

{
	"content": "🔔 Alert: The price of {{ticker}} exceeded {{close}} on {{exchange}}"
}

​

Example 2: Sending an Embedded Message (Embed)

{
	"embeds": [
		{
			"title": "📈 {{ticker}} Alert",
			"description": "**Condition:** {{condition_type}}\n**Price:** {{close}}\n**Exchange:** {{exchange}}",
			"color": 3066993
		}
	]
}

• title: Message title, can contain variables.
• description: Main content using Markdown for formatting.
• color: Color of the Embed bar in decimal RGB format (e.g., 3066993 for green).

​

Testing the Configuration

1. Save the alert settings in TakeProfit.
2. Create a condition that will surely trigger (e.g., set the price above the current one).
3. Check for the message in your Discord channel.
4. Ensure that all variables have been correctly replaced with actual data.

​

Troubleshooting

• Messages are not received:
  • Check the correctness of the Webhook URL.
  • Ensure that the alert in TakeProfit is active.
• Incorrect message display:
  • Verify the correctness of the JSON in the Payload.
  • Use a JSON validator to check.
• Variables are not replaced:
  • Ensure the variables are spelled correctly.
  • Check if the used variables are supported by the TakeProfit platform.

​

Helpful Tips

• Advanced Embed Features:
  • You can add fields, images, and other elements to the Embed. Refer to the Discord documentation for details.
• Notifications in multiple channels:
  • Create multiple Webhooks for different channels and set up corresponding alerts.
• Security:
  • Do not share the Webhook URL with unauthorized individuals.
  • Regularly check your server’s security settings.
