# Get alerted Stay informed in real time about the events that matter to you, without having to watch the markets constantly. Three main use cases: * [**Create a smart alert**](/obside-chat/get-alerted/create-a-smart-alert.md) — triggered by your conditions on prices, indicators, news or tweets. * [**Monitor your portfolio**](/obside-chat/get-alerted/monitor-your-portfolio.md) — track performance, risk and events affecting your positions. * [**Spot opportunities**](/obside-chat/get-alerted/spot-opportunities.md) — identify assets matching your criteria. {% hint style="info" %} Alerts are delivered through the channels you've set up: email, Telegram, WhatsApp or push notifications. See [Notification channels](/alerts-and-notifications/channels.md). {% endhint %} An alert is a type of agent whose **Notifications capability** is enabled — it doesn't place orders, it notifies you. See [Agent capabilities](/agents/capabilities.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.obside.com/obside-chat/get-alerted.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
