🔗 Step 3: Connect to TradingView

After saving your bot configuration, you’ll see the message:

"Bot created! Now connect your bot to TradingView"

This screen gives you a unique webhook URL and important instructions.

⚠️ Match Your Chart to Your Exchange

Ensure your TradingView chart matches the exchange you selected during bot setup.

For example:

• If you selected Bitget, trigger alerts from a Bitget chart.

• If you use a Binance chart for a Bitget bot, the alert will misfire or fail.

Match Exchange

Ensure your TradingView chart matches the exchange you selected

🌐 Step 4: Copy Webhook & Alert Messages

Webhook URL

This is your unique endpoint. Copy and paste it into the "Webhook URL" field when creating your TradingView alert.

https://api.primeautomation.ai/webhook/ChartPrime/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

📋 Click the copy icon in the interface to quickly grab the link.

Webhook Alert

Activate Webhook URL on TradingView and paste your bot's Webhook URL

Basic Alert Message (for non-ChartPrime users)

If you're using any TradingView strategy other than PA Strategy Builder, use:

{{strategy.order.alert_message}}

Paste this into the "Message" field of your TradingView alert. It will send signal details (buy/sell/exit) automatically.
