Webhook Setup
Receive immediate notifications in Discord or Telegram when an alert fires.
Discord
Create a webhook in your Discord server under Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks, copy the URL, and add it to the watcher environment file.
DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL="https://discord.com/api/webhooks/12345/abcdef..."{
"embeds": [{
"title": "🚨 SentinelGuard Alert: CRITICAL",
"description": "Rule TVL_VELOCITY triggered for protocol 9W95...",
"color": 16711680,
"fields": [
{ "name": "Alert ID", "value": "a1b2c3d4", "inline": true },
{ "name": "Score", "value": "95", "inline": true },
{ "name": "Slot", "value": "245012344","inline": true },
{ "name": "At Risk", "value": "$125,000", "inline": false }
]
}]
}Telegram
Create a bot via @BotFather on Telegram to get a bot token, then get your chat ID by messaging @userinfobot. Add both to the watcher environment file.
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="7123456789:AAHdqTcvCH1vGWJxfSeofShs0K84aaaaaa"
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="-1001234567890"{
"chat_id": "-1001234567890",
"text": "🚨 SentinelGuard Alert: CRITICAL
Rule: TVL_VELOCITY
Score: 95
At Risk: $125,000
Slot: 245012344
Protocol: 9W95...",
"parse_mode": "Markdown"
}For group chats, the chat_id is negative (starts with -100). For direct messages to a user, it is a positive integer.
Choosing a Channel
You can configure both at the same time — the watcher dispatcher fans out to all configured channels via Promise.allSettled, so a failure in one does not block the other.
If neither DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL nor TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN is set, alerts are still logged internally but no external notification is sent.
