Why this helps
Trade updates can be easy to miss when you are focused on work in another app.
- Review trade activity from your usual team workspace.
- Reduce the need to switch between Alpaca and Slack.
- Keep the alert focused on details included in the webhook.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize each incoming Alpaca trade update and send it to Slack.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real webhook example and choose where run reports should go.
Questions about this workflow
Does Alpaca start this automation directly?
Alpaca has no listed trigger events for this workflow, so an HTTP request to a Notis webhook starts it. Arrange for your Alpaca process to send the update to that webhook.
What trade details will appear in Slack?
Notis can summarize details included in the webhook payload. Supply any context you need that the payload does not contain.
