# Alerts

**Smart alerts** are agents whose only enabled capability is **Notifications**: they don't place any orders, they notify you as soon as a condition is met.

You can combine **technical, fundamental, macroeconomic or news-based signals** to only trigger the alert in truly interesting contexts.

{% hint style="info" %}
Alerts can be sent via **email, Telegram, WhatsApp or push notifications**. See [Notification channels](/alerts-and-notifications/channels.md).
{% endhint %}
