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:

Expression
Deploy
1
tx_from == '0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B'
2
||
3
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:

Expression
Deploy
1
tx_logs_address == '0x2106c00ac7da0a3430ae667879139e832307aeaa'
2
&&
3
tx_logs_topic0 == '0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef'
4
&&
5
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.
