When an alert fires, Wallet Sleuth can reach you several ways at once. Email works automatically; the others need a one-time setup, mostly from your Profile.

Steps

Email

Every alert contact with an email address on file gets an email when an alert fires. There's no separate toggle; it's always on for any contact that has one.

SMS

1. On your Profile, under Profile Information, the Phone Number field stays disabled until you give consent: select Review SMS Terms & Give Consent.
2. Once you've consented, enter your number in Phone Number and select Update Profile.
3. Under SMS Alert Settings, check Enable SMS alerts for wallet activity and select Update SMS Settings.

In-app notifications

The bell icon in the sidebar shows a badge once you have unread notifications. Select it to open the notifications panel, listing each alert's title, message, and how long ago it fired; select Mark all read to clear the badge, or select a notification to jump to its tracking page.

Telegram

1. On your Profile, under Telegram Settings, select Link Telegram Account.
2. Wallet Sleuth generates a one-time linking code and shows instructions: open Telegram, message the bot, and send it /link followed by the code. The page updates on its own once the link completes, you don't need to refresh it.
3. Once linked, the card shows Telegram Linked with your username; select Unlink Telegram to remove it.

Mobile push

On the Wallet Sleuth mobile app, a Push Notifications toggle under Settings puts alerts on your device's lock screen. It's a mobile-only setting tied to that device; there's no equivalent toggle on the web app.

What you'll see

Common questions

Do I have to set up SMS or Telegram to use Wallet Sleuth? No, both are opt-in. Email and in-app notifications work with no setup at all.

Does linking Telegram or enabling SMS affect other tracking pages? Yes, these are account-level settings, so they apply everywhere you're an alert contact, not just on one page.
