Alerts
Alerts are how Cyphron gets in touch with you. Anything happening on your account is surfaced when it matters, so you never have to rely on checking in yourself.
Alert types
| Type | Raised when |
|---|---|
| Transfer | The status of a payment you sent or received changed (settled or failed) |
| Policy | A spend policy on one of your agents blocked a payment or needs your approval |
| Security | Someone signed in, or a key or wallet on the account changed |
| System | A platform announcement not tied to any specific payment |
Every alert is labeled with its type, so you can tell at a glance which ones need action (typically Policy) and which are just for your information.
Managing alerts
- Unread alerts show a solid dot on a highlighted background
- Opening an alert marks it as read
- Mark all read marks every alert as read in one go
- Use the All and Unread tabs at the top to switch views
Choosing what you hear about
Under the list, Notification preferences gives each rule its own toggle. Turning a toggle off means no new alerts of that type will be created. Alerts you have already received stay visible, and nothing about how your account behaves changes.
This is worth stressing: muting Policy alerts leaves your agent's spend policy exactly as strict as before. Cyphron simply stops telling you each time the policy blocks or holds something. The policy is enforced regardless of whether you are notified. To learn how enforcement works, read Spend Policy Engine.
