QuickAlerts Expressions

QuickAlerts expressions can target any combination of data from a block, transaction, and/or log using comparators and operators. Learn more about data targeting and modifiers, operators, and comparators.

Example 1: Transaction Sent Notification

If you want to receive a notification whenever a transaction was sent to or from a specified wallet, you could use an expression like the one below:

(tx_from == '0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B') || (tx_to == '0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B')

tx_from represents the address the transaction originated, tx_to represents the destination of the transaction, and || is the operator meaning OR.

Example 2: NFT Transfer Notification

If you want to receive a notification whenever a Loopy Donuts NFT is transferred, you would use an expression like the following that targets the transaction logs:

(tx_logs_address == '0x2106c00ac7da0a3430ae667879139e832307aeaa') && (tx_logs_topic0 == '0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef') && (tx_logs_topic3_int > 0)

tx_logs_address represents the contract address for Loopy Donuts, tx_logs_topic0 is the topic hash that represents a Transfer() event on the contract, and tx_logs_topic3_int is an integer greater than 0, which represents the tokenID that is being transferred.
