# Alerts and Inbox

> Announcements, system alerts, rewards, direct messages, and tracked wallet activity in one place.

The inbox is Hyperdash's notification center. It collects platform announcements, system notices, alerts, reward and milestone updates, and direct messages in one panel, and it updates in real time while you trade.

## Where the inbox lives

Click the bell icon at the top right of the header to open the inbox. When you have unread items, the bell shows an orange dot, and an unread count appears inside the panel. Three tabs filter the view: **All**, **Messages**, and **Alerts**.

## What lands in your inbox

| Type                 | What it covers                                      |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Announcements        | Product and platform news broadcast to all users    |
| System notifications | Account-level notices sent directly to you          |
| Alerts               | Warnings that may need your attention               |
| Milestones           | Achievement notices                                 |
| Rewards credited     | Confirmation when rewards land in your account      |
| VIP invites          | Invitations to VIP programs                         |
| Direct messages      | One-to-one conversations with other Hyperdash users |

Notifications can include a button that jumps straight to the relevant page.

## How it works

* The inbox stays live over a real-time connection, so the unread badge updates even while the panel is closed.
* Opening the inbox marks announcements and system notices as read. A direct message is marked read when you open its thread.
* Direct messages support replies from the thread view. Announcement and system channels are read-only.
* The **Contact us** button at the bottom of the inbox opens the feedback form.

## Alerts for tracked wallets

Activity from wallets you follow does not go to the inbox. It streams into the live **Tracked** feed in the trading terminal: trades with direction, size, and price, plus account events such as deposits and withdrawals. Filter the feed by list, direction, open or close, and notional size. To start following a wallet, see [Trader Explore](/wallet-explore).

<Note>
  The inbox is only available when you are signed in to Hyperdash.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do notifications reach me outside the app?">
    The inbox is the primary channel. Hyperdash announcements can also arrive by email, and you can unsubscribe from those at any time. Hyperdash additionally runs a public Whale Alerts channel on Telegram, linked from the app header.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I get alerted when a trader I follow makes a move?">
    Track the wallet from [Trader Explore](/wallet-explore). Their fills and account events then appear in the Tracked feed in real time.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why did my unread badge disappear?">
    Opening the inbox counts as reading announcements and system notices, since their full content is shown in the list. Direct messages keep their unread count until you open the thread.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I reply to a notification?">
    Announcements and system notices are read-only. Direct messages from other Hyperdash users can be answered directly from the thread view.
