Orca Alerts let you create notifications for selected liquidity position conditions, such as when a position moves out of range or approaches a range boundary. You can receive notifications in the Orca app, via Telegram, or by email.
Orca Alerts are powered by Dialect, a messaging infrastructure provider on Solana.

​
Why use alerts?

With concentrated liquidity, a position only accrues swap fees while the pool price is within the selected range and swaps use the position’s liquidity. When price moves outside that range:
  • The position stops accruing swap fees while out of range
  • Token composition may become fully one-sided
  • You may want to review the position details
Alerts help you monitor selected position conditions without manually checking charts as often.
Alerts are informational only. They do not guarantee delivery, execution, position performance, or any particular outcome. Always review your position and transaction details before taking action.

​
Opening the Notifications panel

You can access alerts from anywhere on Orca using the envelope icon in the top-right corner of the navigation bar, next to your wallet.

​
Viewing notification history

The Inbox tab shows notifications you have received. Each alert notification includes:
  • The pool and position that triggered it
  • The alert type, such as “Out of Range”
  • Timestamp of when it occurred
  • A View Pool link to open the relevant pool
Use the filter buttons to view All, Alerts, or News updates from Orca.

​
Alert setup considerations

Use Only once if you want one notification for a condition. After the notification is sent, the alert is automatically deleted.
Use Every time if you want to be notified each time the selected condition is met.
Use Once a minute to limit notifications while a condition persists. This can reduce repeated notifications for positions that move around a range boundary.
In-app notifications appear in Orca. Telegram or email notifications require connecting and verifying the relevant account.

​
Future alert features

Orca may add more alert types over time, such as:
  • New pool notifications
  • Portfolio summaries
Availability, timing, and functionality may change.
