# Swap Notifications

> What the bot posts in your group for buys, sells, burns, price moves, and large swaps.

Every tracked token can generate four kinds of alerts — **buy**, **sell**, **burn**, and optional **price moves**. Alerts are posted in the group chat (not as DMs) by the bot.

## Buy Alert

A formatted buy alert includes the direction emoji, the symbol, the USD size, and the key market context:

```
🟢 BUY | PEPE | $5,234.56
Maker: 0xabcd…ef12
Tax: 1.2% / 1.5% • MCap: $1.2M
View TX: <link>
```

- **Direction emoji** — **🟢** by default, or whatever you configured. See [Configuring a Token](/docs/buy/configuring-a-token).
- **Symbol** — the symbol you chose when adding the token.
- **USD amount** of the swap.
- **Maker** — the wallet that bought, shortened.
- **Tax** — buy tax and sell tax, where on-chain data is available.
- **MCap** — the token's current market cap.
- **View TX** — opens the transaction on the chain's block explorer.

## Sell Alert

Identical layout, with **🔴** (or your custom sell emoji) and the label **SELL**.

## Burn Alert

When tokens are sent to a burn address, the bot posts a burn notification with **🔥**. Because burns have no USD counterpart, the amount is shown in tokens instead of dollars.

```
🔥 BURN | PEPE | 10,000,000 PEPE
```

## Large-Swap GIF

When a swap is at least **10 times** the token's *TX Threshold* and a GIF URL has been configured, the bot posts an animated GIF with the alert caption instead of a plain text message. The caption still includes the full swap details, so nothing is lost compared to the text version — just with a visually loud cue that something big happened.

## Mono Format

When **Mono: On** is enabled for a token, the same information renders inside a monospace code block. Useful in groups where plain text copies more cleanly for sharing elsewhere:

```
🟢 BUY | PEPE | $5,234.56
Maker: 0xabcd…ef12
TX: 0xabc123…
```

## Price Alert

If the token's **Price Alert** is enabled, the bot posts a short message in the group whenever the price moves by your configured percentage since the last price alert — independent of any individual swap.

```
📈 PEPE | +5.2% to $0.0000123
```

## Anti-Spam

To keep a single token from flooding the group during rapid swap activity, the bot coalesces alerts for the same token within a short window. Back-to-back swaps appear as a single combined message rather than a cascade, and the aggregate picture is still accurate.

> **INFO**

> Anti-spam applies per token, per chat. A busy token in one group does not hold up alerts for a different token in the same group, or for the same token in another group.
