This helps you easily identify and manage different alerts later. You may also use the same name as your scan if preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2) Schedule \/ Frequency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The frequency option allows you to decide how often the alert scan should run.<br data-start=\"331\" data-end=\"334\">You can configure alerts to trigger at intervals such as every:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li data-section-id=\"uzv7av\" data-start=\"399\" data-end=\"459\">1 \/ 2 \/ 3 \/ 5 \/ 10 \/ 15 \/ 20 \/ 30 \/ 60 \/ 120 \/ 240 minutes<\/li><li data-section-id=\"nk2emw\" data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"473\">Market Open<\/li><li data-section-id=\"1vaykbe\" data-start=\"474\"

href=\"https:\/\/chartink.com\/articles\/alerts\/alerts-faq\/\">FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Minimum stocks to alerts<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This option allows you to set the minimum number of stocks\/results that must match the scan conditions before an alert is triggered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li data-section-id=\"1uvplui\" data-start=\"173\" data-end=\"304\">If the Minimum Matches value is set to <strong data-start=\"214\" data-end=\"219\">5<\/strong>, the alert will only trigger when <strong data-start=\"254\" data-end=\"275\">at least 5 stocks<\/strong> satisfy the scan conditions.<\/li><li data-section-id=\"gg88gn\" data-start=\"305\" data-end=\"358\">If only 2 or 3 stocks match, no alert will be sent.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"535\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/chartink.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/NR7-CURRENT-DAY-Technical-Analysis-Scanner.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5614\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) After Trigger &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This setting determines what should happen after the alert condition is triggered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li data-section-id=\"olx649\" data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1142\"><strong data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1055\">Continue<\/strong> \u2013 The alert will continue monitoring and triggering whenever conditions are met again.<\/li><li data-section-id=\"15hesa8\" data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1226\"><strong data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1154\">Pause<\/strong> \u2013 The alert will stop automatically after the first successful trigger.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>5) Duplicates (Unique \/ Duplicate Notifications)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4>Unique<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Unique option enabled, you will receive only one alert per stock for the day, even if the stock matches the scan conditions multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example: If a stock triggers the alert at 9:30 AM and again at 1:00 PM, you will receive only the first notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Duplicate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Duplicate option allows repeated notifications for the same stock whenever it matches the scan conditions again during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>6) Delivery \/ Notification Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This section allows you to choose how you want to receive alert notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available notification methods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li data-section-id=\"1717an8\" data-start=\"2060\" data-end=\"2067\">Email<\/li><li data-section-id=\"1o4qyt\"

data-start=\"2111\" data-end=\"2135\">WhatsApp Notifications<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can select one or multiple delivery methods as per your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>7) View Triggers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cView Triggers\u201d option allows you to see which stocks or scan conditions have already triggered the alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>8) Alert Display Type (Flyout \/ Inline Banner)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This option allows you to choose how alert notifications should appear on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li data-section-id=\"nidetc\" data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"2964\"><strong data-start=\"2906\" data-end=\"2916\">Flyout<\/strong> \u2013 Displays alerts as popup-style notifications.<\/li><li data-section-id=\"ixwztp\" data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"3045\"><strong data-start=\"2967\" data-end=\"2984\">Inline Banner<\/strong> \u2013 Displays alerts within the platform interface as a banner.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure

Webhooks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The webhook feature allows alerts to automatically send data or messages to external applications whenever an alert is triggered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When activated, the system sends an HTTP POST request to the provided webhook URL.<br data-start=\"3345\" data-end=\"3348\">This enables automated communication between platforms and can be used for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li data-section-id=\"2702ha\" data-start=\"3425\" data-end=\"3439\">Algo trading<\/li><li data-section-id=\"1lai491\" data-start=\"3440\" data-end=\"3466\">Third-party integrations<\/li><li

Payload Columns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Payload Columns allow you to customize which stock data fields should be included in the webhook response or alert payload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li data-section-id=\"1ftbai7\" data-start=\"3693\" data-end=\"3705\">Stock Name<\/li><li data-section-id=\"1o4868\" data-start=\"3706\" data-end=\"3711\">LTP<\/li><li
