## Forming Messages Using Variables

You can use TakeProfit variables to dynamically form the content of the message.

**Common variables:**

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

**Example usage in the Message field:**

```json theme={null}
{
	"content": "🔔 Alert: {{ticker}} on {{exchange}} — {{condition_type}} {{close}}"
}
```

***

## Configuration Examples

### Example 1: Simple Text Message

**Message:** `The price of BTC/USD exceeded $50,000 on Binance`

**Payload in the Message field:**

```json theme={null}
{
	"content": "🔔 Alert: The price of {{ticker}} exceeded {{close}} on {{exchange}}"
}
```

### Example 2: Sending an Embedded Message (Embed)

**Payload with Embed:**

```json theme={null}
{
	"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](https://jsonlint.com/) 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](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object) 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.
