# 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 my holdings**](/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.

Alerts are delivered through the channels you've set up: Telegram, push notifications or email (WhatsApp coming soon). 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).
