# Introducing the Robosats Alert Bot for SimpleX
Hey everyone,
Glad to make my fist post here! I am 🏛️TempleOfSats🏛️, a Robosats coordinator.
I’m excited to introduce a new tool for those using RoboSats—a SimpleX bot that notifies you when an order meeting your specific criteria (currency, premium, payment method, and amount) is posted. This project is designed to uphold the privacy philosophy of RoboSats by leveraging the security features of SimpleX.
🚀 Overview
This bot monitors RoboSats for orders that fit your requirements and sends notifications via SimpleX, ensuring your privacy. The bot checks for matches in the background and alerts you instantly when a match is found.
📖 User Guide
1. Connect to the Bot
Click here to connect to the public instance of the SimpleX Chat Bot.
2. Getting Started
Upon connection, you’ll receive a welcome message. Start by typing /help to see how to interact with the bot.
3. Create an Alert
Just type /new and follow the prompts to set up your alert. The bot will guide you step by step.
4. Receive Notifications
The bot monitors for new orders that match your criteria. When it finds one, you’ll get detailed info about the order, including an onion link to place the order.
5. Manage Alerts
View your alerts by typing /list. You can enable, disable, or delete them as needed. Alerts have a 7-day lifetime by default, but you can extend this with /extend command.
🛠️ Self Hosting & future of the project
Everyone is encouraged to self-host this bot, following the guide on the Github repo: https://github.com/lft3t8bx/Robosats-Orderbook-Alert-Bot-for-SimpleX-Chat !
Self Hosted version of the project could further extend the capabilities of the project. For instance, an integration with the excellent roboauto project could allow users to make/take orders and automatically pay bonds / submit invoice through the self hosted lightning node.
🥚 Easter Egg
For those who made it this far, type /satoshi to get a random quote from Satoshi Nakamoto!
This bot is a great way to stay on top of RoboSats orders while maintaining your privacy. If you’re interested in self-hosting or have any questions, feel free to reach out!
Happy trading!
