Notification bot: connecting, /stop and /start
Everything that happens with your trades and bots — an entry, a take-profit hit, a pause, a protection that fired — arrives not in the main bot but in a separate notification bot@Sync_trading_notifications_bot. You connect it once; without it you will not see a single event.
What it is
Sync has two bots for you:
| Bot | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Main bot @sync_trading_bot | The whole interface: menu, bot creation, settings, trades, subscription |
| Notification bot @Sync_trading_notifications_bot | Only sends alerts — separately from the menu, so they do not get in the way |
The notification bot asks nothing and configures nothing: it understands two commands only — /start and /stop. The language of the messages is the same as the interface language of the main bot.
Where it is in the bot
Main menu → 🔔 Notifications. The screen shows the current state:
- “Notification chat connected ✅” — everything works; the same screen tells you how to disconnect;
- “Notification chat is not connected.” — with the name of the notification bot and a hint on how to connect it.
Right after registration the bot also reminds you: “Connect the notification bot to receive trade alerts in a separate chat. Open @Sync_trading_notifications_bot and press /start.”
How to connect
- In the main bot open 🔔 Notifications and follow the link to the notification bot (or find it in Telegram by its name).
- Press the “Start” button or send the
/startcommand. - The bot replies: “Notification chat activated ✅”.
- Go back to the main bot — the 🔔 Notifications screen now shows “Notification chat connected ✅”.
You connect it once for the whole account, not for each bot.
How to mute and unmute
- Send
/stopin the notification bot chat. The reply: “Notifications disabled. You can re-enable them with /start.” - To get messages back, send
/startin the same chat.
The /stop command switches off delivery only: bots, trades and protections keep working as before. While notifications are off you will not learn about a stop that fired, a bot that was paused or a problem with your keys — turn them back on as soon as you can. If you want fewer messages but do not want to lose the important ones, it is better to switch the notification mode of your Grid and DCA bots: see Notification modes and the digest.
Commands of the notification bot
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/start | Connect the notification chat |
/stop | Disconnect the notification chat |
If you send the notification bot anything else, it replies: “Commands: /start — enable notifications, /stop — disable.”
Common mistakes and what the bot says
- “To use this bot you need an account in Sync Trading Bot” — you pressed “Start” in the notification bot before registering in the main bot. First send
/startto @sync_trading_bot, then come back and repeat. - “You don't have an account in the main bot.” — the same thing for the
/stopcommand: there is nothing to disconnect. - Events do not arrive although the status says connected — check whether the notification bot is blocked in Telegram, and check the notification mode in the bot card: in the Errors only mode ordinary events are not shown.
