Notifications overview
How trade alerts work in Coinrule — email and Telegram, what events trigger them, and how to set them up.
Updated 2026-05-29·2 min read
Coinrule sends trade alerts via email and Telegram when your strategies execute trades or encounter errors. There are 5 trigger events — position opened, position closed, strategy completed, error-stopped, and error occurred — and alerts are dispatched approximately every 60 seconds.
What notification channels are available?
- Email — sent via Coinrule's transactional email service to your account email.
- Telegram — sent to a linked Telegram account via the Coinrule bot.
Which events trigger alerts?
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Position opened | A new position was opened |
| Position closed | A position was closed (includes P&L) |
| Strategy completed | All executions reached max_open_positions cap |
| Strategy error-stopped | The strategy stopped due to repeated errors |
| Error occurred | A non-fatal error was recorded |
There are no per-event-type toggles — all enabled alert rules receive all of these events.
What are the requirements?
Notifications require:
- A paid plan (Starter or above)
- Alerts enabled globally in Settings → Notifications
- Each strategy individually opted in via the bell icon on the strategy detail page (off by default)
What is the delivery latency?
Alerts are dispatched by a cron job that runs approximately every 60 seconds. Expect up to ~1 minute of latency between a trade and the alert arriving.
