Alerts are delivered through Telegram, a free messaging app — this is how a price drop reaches your phone. If you're new to it, follow these steps:

Close this dialog, search a card, and add it. Set a price threshold on each card (or a notification price filter via the ⚙️ beside the bulk-threshold bar) and you'll get a Telegram alert when it drops below that price on CardTrader Zero.
The “how it works” card new users see on their first visit. Closed it and want another read? Bring it back here.
Scan every tracked card right now and send a per-card report to Telegram — shows which cards have CT Zero listings, which don't, and any errors. Use this if alerts seem quiet or a price looks stuck.
See the app exactly as a first-time visitor does: the welcome guide reopened on the default Scan decklist tab. Nothing is deleted — your token, watchlist and settings are untouched, and a banner at the top lets you leave the preview.
Pause automatic price refreshes during a daily window — handy for saving bandwidth overnight. Manual Poll now and everything in this dialog still work while paused. The window is read in the timezone below, so when you travel you can either hit Use my current timezone to shift it, or just untick to refresh 24/7.

Download every user's watchlist & price history before a redeploy, then restore it after.
Delete every recorded price point before a chosen date & time, across all users. Use this when an old ↓ below avg reading is being skewed by stale data left over from before a redeploy — the average is computed over all stored points, and history isn't cleared when a card is removed and re-added.
Confirms your data sits on a persistent volume and won't be wiped on the next deploy.

Mute trivial price wobble. For each price tier, set how much a card's price must move (in €) before you get another Telegram alert. Example: a 50€ card moving 30¢ isn't worth a ping, but a 1€ card moving 30¢ is. Up to 5 tiers · leave a Min or Max blank for “no limit”.
Trade Caravan compares live CardTrader Zero listings against the CardMarket price and tells you when something is cheap — on screen, or by Telegram while you're away.
