Before you can send programmatic alerts to your users, you need to detect when events worth notifying about actually happen. This section covers different strategies for monitoring and detecting events in your application.
You don’t have event monitoring in place yet and need a complete solution. Dialect provides open-source monitoring tooling (Dialect Monitor) that can detect on-chain and off-chain events automatically. This is ideal when you want a ready-made solution for common blockchain events.
Best for: On-chain events, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, standard blockchain monitoring needs, teams without existing monitoring infrastructure.

You already have event detection systems in your backend (webhooks, database triggers, custom monitoring, existing alerting systems) and want to integrate Dialect’s alert sending directly into your existing workflows using our SDK or API.
Best for: Custom business logic, existing backend systems, complex event patterns, off-chain events, teams with established monitoring infrastructure.
