# 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🚀 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.

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🛠️ 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.

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!
Awesome use of SimpleX!
That’s great! Thank you. When an ~AMA?
Thanks for the feedback! I am just a coordinator, the founder and main developer of the project @P2P_bitcoin would by far be a better host for a Robosats AMA.
But if you have any question regarding coordinator job, you are more than welcome!
For more information regarding the role of coordinator, you can follow this link:

Very cool, I'll make sure to try it out
Nice very convenient!
Project looks cool. Keep up the great work.
This is good! I was wondering when this kind of option would be available.
Please note that notifications must be reactivated every 7 days from Robosats Bot Albert via SimpleX. If you have multiple rules, you can type the command: /enableall instead of reactivating each ID one by one. I'm looking for how to replace Telegram notifications with SimpleX ? Does anyone have a tip ?
This is good bot I guess I need to Tyr
I'll try and update you soon.
