Using Variables in Alerts

Create powerful, informative alerts by incorporating dynamic data directly in your alert messages.

Variable Placeholders

You can customize alert messages with real-time data using special placeholders. For example:

{{ticker}}:{{exchange}} {{condition_type}} {{condition_source_1}}

When triggered, this might display as: TSLA:NASDAQ Crossing Down 144.68

Message Formatting Options

Switch between two formatting modes:

Plain Text Mode: Type variables manually
JSON Mode: Click variables to insert them or use the ”+” icon to add new ones
