TradingView Webhook Tutorial: Get Phone Call Alerts in Minutes

If you've ever missed a big move because you weren't watching your charts, you already know the problem. TradingView can send you alerts — but email and push notifications are easy to ignore. A phone call is not.

This tutorial shows you how to connect a TradingView webhook to TradeAlert.Pro so your phone rings the second your alert fires, no matter what you're doing.

What Is a TradingView Webhook?

A webhook is simply a URL that TradingView sends a message to when your alert triggers. Instead of TradingView sending a notification only to your phone's app, it can also fire an HTTP request to any web service you choose — including TradeAlert.Pro, which turns that request into an actual phone call.

Think of it like this: TradingView sees your alert condition, dials the webhook URL, and says "it happened." TradeAlert.Pro receives that call and immediately calls your phone.

What you need to get started:

A TradingView account on the Essential plan or higher (webhooks are not available on the free plan)
A TradeAlert.Pro account (free to start)
Two-Factor Authentication enabled on TradingView (required by TradingView for all webhook users)

Note on TradingView plans: The free TradingView plan does not support webhooks. You'll need Essential ($12.95/mo) or above. If you're already on a paid plan, you're good to go.

Step 1: Get Your Webhook URL from TradeAlert.Pro

Before touching TradingView, grab your webhook URL.

Go to tradealert.pro and create a free account
Enter and verify your phone number — this is the number that will receive the call
Once you're in the dashboard, find the Webhook URL section
Click Copy to copy your unique URL

Your URL will look something like:

https://tradealert.pro/hook/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_API_KEY

Keep this handy — you'll paste it into TradingView in a moment.

Step 2: Enable 2FA on TradingView

TradingView requires Two-Factor Authentication before you can use webhooks. If you've already set this up, skip ahead.

Log into TradingView.com
Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner
Go to Settings → Security
Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Scan the QR code with Google Authenticator or Authy
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm

That's it. You only need to do this once.

Step 3: Create a Webhook Alert on TradingView

Now open the chart you want to monitor and create your alert.

Click the Alert icon (it looks like a clock) in the top toolbar
Set your alert condition — for example, "Crossing" a specific price, or when an indicator gives a signal
Under Options, set the frequency to Once Per Bar Close (this is more reliable than "Only Once" and avoids false signals on wicks)
Scroll down to the Notifications tab
Check the box next to Webhook URL
Paste your TradeAlert.Pro URL into the field

Set your alert message. This is what will be read aloud when your phone rings. Keep it short and clear:

{{ticker}} alert triggered at {{close}}. Check your chart.

TradingView automatically fills in {{ticker}} with the symbol name and {{close}} with the price — so the call might say "BTCUSD alert triggered at 68,450. Check your chart."

Tip: Avoid special characters like @, #, or | in your message — they don't translate well to speech.

Click Create to save the alert

Step 4: Test It

Before you rely on this for real trades, confirm it works.

Create a quick test alert using your current price as the condition so it fires immediately. Your phone should ring within a couple of seconds. The call will play your alert message as a voice recording.

If you don't get a call:

Double-check that your phone number is verified in TradeAlert.Pro
Make sure there are no typos or extra spaces in the webhook URL
Check the Activity section in your TradeAlert.Pro dashboard to see if the webhook was received

You're All Set

That's the full setup. From here, every time your TradingView alert fires, your phone rings — whether you're at your desk, in a meeting, or asleep.

A few things worth knowing:

You can use the same webhook URL across as many TradingView alerts as you want
TradeAlert.Pro logs every call, so you can always check what triggered and when
If you ever need to revoke access, you can regenerate your API key from the TradeAlert.Pro dashboard
