Watch a Token and get a Desktop Notification

Watch a Token and get a Desktop Notification

In this example we will use Adder to send us a desktop notification when there is a transaction that includes a certain token or asset that we want to track.

✅ For this guide we assume you have already downloaded the Adder exe and have opened a command prompt. If not see our Quick Start guide.

---

Let us start by picking an asset that we want to follow.

Step 1 - Get Asset ID / Fingerprint

In order to filter by a Token that we want to watch we need the asset id also known as the asset fingerprint. We can use tools like cexplorer.io to search by a token name so we can get the asset id / asset fingerprint.

📝 Make note of the asset fingerprint, we will need it later. For this example, we used the following asset id / asset fingerprint:

asset1uaxup2yv695uat3chgwqtpg9xvau55pd5z6r46

---

Now that we have our asset id / fingerprint that we want to monitor, we are ready to look at the filters and commands we will use. For this example, we will use:

• Filter Asset
• Filter Type
• Output

Filter Asset

We can use the asset fingerprint from above for cTOSI to have Adder track transactions with that fingerprint by using the following filter:

-filter-asset asset1uaxup2yv695uat3chgwqtpg9xvau55pd5z6r46

Filter Type - Transaction

For this example, we want to get alerts when a transaction occurs using the cTOSI asset id / fingerprint. To do this we will add the following filter:

-filter-type chainsync.transaction

Output

We want the output to be a desktop notification. So that when a transaction that contains cTOSI occurs, we will receive a desktop notification. To do this we will add the following command:

-output notify

---

Putting it All Together

To get desktop notifications when a transaction includes the Tosidrop token cTOSI, we will run the following command in our command prompt:

⚠️ Please adjust the path to your Adder exe. In this example it’s on the Desktop for user richm.

C:\Users\richm\Desktop\adder-v0.26.0-windows-amd64.exe -filter-type chainsync.transaction -filter-asset asset1uaxup2yv695uat3chgwqtpg9xvau55pd5z6r46 -output notify

Congratulations!

Now you can minimize the window and let Adder run in the background. Anytime a transaction occurs containing cTOSI you will get a desktop alert.
