# Custom alerts and webhooks

Alerts beyond your watchlist (whole lists of key profiles, new projects by category or chain), and Discord webhooks.

**Watchlist › Custom Alerts** decides what reaches you beyond the key profiles and projects you watch, and where it goes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Pro only. Webhook URLs save as soon as they're valid; everything else needs **Save Preferences**.
{% endhint %}

## Followings

You get a follow alert when the key profile who followed is any of:

* on your watchlist (and not muted);
* in a list you subscribe to under **List Subscriptions**: Dev, High Pos, Official, Founders, Investors, Research, Connections;
* any key profile with at least **KP Minimum followers** (if you set it, 10,000 or more).

The account they followed then has to pass your limits. These apply to every follow alert, watched key profiles included:

* **Project Maximum followers**: the account has at most this many followers;
* **Maximum key followers**: it has at most this many key followers (up to 10,000);
* **Unfiltered** off: it's an account our classifier has reviewed.

Leave a number at 0 for no limit.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example:** subscribe to **Founders**, set **Project Maximum followers** to 500 and **KP Minimum followers** to 25,000. You're alerted when a key profile you watch, any founder, or any key profile with 25K+ followers follows an account under 500 followers.
{% endhint %}

A list subscription can mean hundreds of follows a day. Set the account limits first.

## Projects and communities

* **Notifications by Category** (DeFi, AI, Gaming, NFT, Meme, Infrastructure, DAO) and **by Chain** (Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, BSC, Optimism): be told the moment Alphagate finds a new project that matches, optionally under a **Max Followers** size.
* **Joins**: be told when a key profile you watch joins an X Community.

## Discord webhooks

Each kind of alert can post to its own Discord channel:

| Webhook        | Posts                                                     |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Alerts**     | Account changes of your watched projects                  |
| **Tweets**     | Tweets from your watched projects                         |
| **Projects**   | New projects matching your categories and chains          |
| **Followings** | Follows by your watched key profiles and subscribed lists |
| **Joins**      | Community joins by your watched key profiles              |

To get a URL: in Discord, **Server Settings › Integrations › Webhooks › New Webhook**, pick the channel, **Copy Webhook URL**. Only Discord webhook URLs are accepted. Each [velocity alert](/live-signals/live-feed/velocity-alerts.md) rule can post to its own webhook too.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Anyone with a webhook URL can post to that channel. Treat it like a password.
