Sending Dashboard Alerts


​
Complete Alert Workflow

1

Access Dashboard

Go to dashboard.dialect.to, connect your dApp’s wallet, and click “Alerts” then “Send a new alert”
2

Select Topic

  • General Broadcast: Default topic available for all apps
  • Custom Topics: Create specific categories (product updates, timely alerts, etc.)
  • Users can subscribe to specific topics for better control over notifications
3

Choose Recipients

The dashboard supports multiple recipient options:
  • All Subscribers: Send to all users subscribed to the selected topic, or all app subscribers if no topic was chosen
  • Specific Recipients: Enter comma-separated wallet addresses (single address for one person, up to 10,000 addresses per message)
4

Select Delivery Channel

Choose one or multiple delivery channels for your alert:
  • Inbox: In-app notifications displayed in your integrated notification widget
  • Telegram: Messages sent directly to users’ Telegram accounts
  • Email: Professional email notifications
You can select multiple channels to send the same message across different delivery methods simultaneously. To do so, just click on the channel icon.
5

Create Alert Content

  • Title: Short, attention-grabbing headline
  • Message: Main notification content
  • Call-to-Action: Optional button with custom label and URL
  • Image: Optional image upload to enhance your message
6

Test and Send

  • Send Test Alert: Optional - send to specific wallet address to preview
  • Review and Send: Final review before delivery
  • Confirmation: Dashboard shows delivery status and timestamp

​
Channel-Specific Specifications

Based on your selected delivery channel, follow these specifications:
Email Configuration:
  • Rich HTML Editor: Full formatting support
  • Character Limit: 4,096 characters
  • Images: Use HTML <img> tags (no file uploads)
  • Call-to-Action: Add button with label and URL
  • Subject Line: Should be clear and actionable as it appears as the notification title

​
Dashboard Limitations

Current Limitations:
  • ❌ No Scheduled Sending: All notifications send immediately
  • ❌ No Bulk Content: Each channel must be configured individually
  • ❌ No Templates: Content must be written fresh each time
  • ❌ No A/B Testing: Single message version per channel
Workarounds:
  • For Scheduled Sending: Use programmatic alerts with your own scheduling
  • For Templates: Save content in external documents for copy/paste
  • For Bulk Operations: Use the REST API for automated sending

​
Best Practices

​
Content Guidelines

  1. Clear Value Proposition: Explain why this notification matters
  2. Action-Oriented: Include clear next steps for users
  3. Brand Consistent: Maintain your voice and tone
  4. Mobile-Friendly: Consider how content appears on mobile devices

​
Timing Strategy

  1. Know Your Audience: Send when users are most active
  2. Respect Time Zones: Use scheduling for global audiences
  3. Frequency Limits: Don’t overwhelm users with too many alerts
  4. Event-Driven: Tie notifications to relevant user actions or milestones

​
Channel Selection

  1. EMAIL: Professional announcements, detailed updates
  2. TELEGRAM: Quick updates, community engagement
  3. INBOX: Cross-app visibility, reaches users in integrated applications
