Alerts Configuration Panel

The Alerts Configuration panel allows you to integrate the bot with your personal Slack workspace to receive real-time alerts for all major actions, especially failures or execution issues. This is crucial because the bot runs on a remote VPS and may be unattended — notifications help you stay informed even when you're not actively watching.

⚠️ Why This Matters

🚨 Trades happen silently in a VPS — if something fails, you won’t know unless alerts are configured. Enabling alerts ensures that:

• ❌ Failed executions

• ❗ Missing passwords or window errors

• ⚠️ Timing conflicts or user focus issues ...can all be pushed instantly to your private Slack channel.

This makes it essential for both live and funded account safety.

🔐 Slack Requirements

To use this feature, users must:

1. Have their own Slack Workspace

2. Create a Slack App and Bot Token (e.g., via Slack API)

3. Install the app into the workspace

4. Get the OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-)

• React immediately to any alert indicating password, focus, or command issues.
