Notification Types & Channels

StratBase.ai routes alerts across four independent channels, each configurable per event type. This means a backtest completion can ping your email while access requests go straight to Telegram — no one-size-fits-all approach.

Every event StratBase generates is classified into one of eight notification types. Each type has its own row in the preferences grid, and each delivery channel has its own column. You toggle individual cells — not entire rows or columns — giving you precise control over what arrives where.

| Channel | Trigger Condition | |---|---| | In-App | Bell icon, top navigation — always available when logged in | | Email | Delivered to your registered address; may take 1–3 minutes | | Telegram | Requires a linked account; near-instant delivery | | Browser Sound | Plays only while the StratBase tab is open and focused |

| Event | What Triggers It | Factory Defaults | |---|---|---| | Backtest Complete | Engine finishes — pass or fail | In-App, Email | | Access Request Received | Another user requests your private backtest | In-App, Email, Telegram | | Access Granted | Owner approved your request | In-App, Email, Telegram | | Access Denied | Owner rejected your request | In-App only | | Direct Message | Incoming personal message on platform | In-App, Email, Telegram | | AI Limit Warning | Monthly AI credits drop below 10 % remaining | In-App, Email | | Affiliate Signup | New user registers through your referral link | In-App, Telegram | | Affiliate Earning | Commission posts from a referral's paid subscription | In-App, Email, Telegram |

1. Click your avatar (top-right corner) → Settings
2. Select the Notifications tab

5. No save button — every toggle writes instantly

Practical example: You run multiple backtests overnight on BTC/USDT with a 4-hour RSI(14) + MACD strategy. You want to wake up to an email summary, not a flood of Telegram pings. Set Backtest Complete → Email ON, Backtest Complete → Telegram OFF. Done in two clicks.

Telegram notifications carry interactive payloads unavailable in other channels:

• Access request alerts include Approve and Reject inline buttons. Tap either directly inside Telegram — no need to open StratBase. The action registers immediately and the requester is notified.
• Direct message alerts render the first 300 characters of the message in blockquote format. Reply to that Telegram notification and your reply forwards to the sender's StratBase inbox automatically.
• Affiliate Signup notifications include the new user's username so you can track referral activity without logging in.

To link your account: Settings → Integrations → Telegram → Connect — scan the QR code or follow the bot link, then send /start in the resulting chat.

The red badge on the bell icon counts unread items only — read notifications do not contribute to the number. Clicking the bell opens a slide-out panel showing your 20 most recent alerts. Each entry is a link: clicking a Backtest Complete notice takes you directly to that backtest's results page; clicking an Access Request notice opens the sharing panel for that strategy.

Mark all as read (top-right of the panel) zeroes the badge without deleting history. Full notification history is not currently paginated beyond the 20-item panel.

• Mute email during active sessions — toggle Email off for Direct Message if you monitor Telegram; duplicate channels add noise without value.
• Security emails are mandatory — password changes and account lock events always send to your registered email regardless of preference settings. These cannot be disabled.
• Notification preferences and trading alert webhooks are separate systems — changes here have no effect on webhook or alert delivery configured inside a strategy.
