Automated Store Alerts via Telegram

Written by Dazza

What Are Store Alerts?

Once you've linked your Telegram bot, you'll automatically receive proactive alerts when something needs your attention. These alerts help you catch problems before your customers do.

Alert Categories

Critical Alerts (checked every 5 minutes)

  • Store Offline — a store that should be open is not accepting orders

  • No Orders During Business Hours — unusual quiet period that may indicate a problem

  • Payment Without Order — a payment was received but no matching order exists

  • Duplicate Orders — same customer placed identical orders within minutes

  • Order Total Mismatch — the order total doesn't match the sum of items

Operational Alerts (checked every 30 minutes)

  • Delivery Zone Rejections — customers being rejected by your delivery zones

  • Slow Delivery Times — deliveries consistently exceeding estimated times

  • High Cancellation Rate — unusual number of cancelled orders

Menu Quality Alerts (checked hourly)

  • $0 Products — products with zero price that may be mistakes

  • Empty Categories — menu categories with no visible products

  • Missing Images — products with broken or missing images

  • Empty Modifier Groups — modifier groups assigned but with no options

  • Broken Deals — deals referencing deleted products

Daily Summary (6am AEST)

  • Revenue Comparison — how yesterday compared to the same day last week

  • Loyalty Anomalies — unusual loyalty point activity

  • Subscription Status — billing issues with your subscription

  • Domain Health — DNS or SSL certificate issues with your custom domain

Alert Deduplication

Alerts are smart about not spamming you. Each alert type has a cooldown period — critical alerts won't repeat for 1 hour, operational alerts for 4 hours, and daily alerts for 24 hours. This means you get notified once about each issue without being overwhelmed.

Do I Need to Set Up Anything?

No! Once your Telegram bot is linked (see Telegram Emergency Controls), alerts are automatically enabled. You'll start receiving them as soon as any issues are detected.
