Tutorial: How to Create Customizable Alerts with Whale Alert’s WebSocket API & IFTTT

<a href="https://twitter.com/whale_alert" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Whale Alert</a> is famous for its crypto alerts on Twitter and Telegram, but as a trader or developer you might be interested in alerts for different coins or alerts that don’t show up there very often. With our new WebSocket API developers can now create their own custom alerts for their favorite assets and set their own value limits. You could create alerts for every SHIB burn for instance or any ALGO transfer above $10,000. You can also get the alerts that show up on our social media if you’d like to do something cool with those. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through integrating our API with IFTTT to create a versatile alert system. Want to receive an SMS or email when a big transfer happens for your favorite coin? Or maybe you want to post alerts in a Discord chat? You can even make your smart home do cool stuff like change the color of the lights in your room or play a custom sound on your smart speakers when a big coin burn happens. This tutorial will guide you through the entire process of creating your own alerts setup.
