Short answer

How can I monitor onchain events with my AI?

You tell your AI which contract address or function to watch, and it uses Tenderly to set up an automated alert. This setup ensures you get notified the moment specific state changes occur on the blockchain.

Alert outcomes.

Where your data goes.

The AI handles the monitoring logic and routes the results to your chosen destination.

NOTIFY

Real-time alerts

The AI uses Tenderly to trigger a notification as soon as a method call matches your criteria. You get the signal without manual polling.

LOG

Activity tracking

Your agent can keep a record of specific contract interactions. This gives you a clean history of the events you care about.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

When an alert triggers, the AI presents the transaction details to you. You decide if you need to step in and take action.

REPORT

Event summaries

The AI can group multiple related events into a single summary. This helps you understand patterns in contract behavior.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as the bridge between Tenderly's monitoring and your instructions.

  1. Define the target

    You provide a contract address and the specific function you want to track. The AI interprets these details to prepare the monitoring request.

    create_alert

  2. Setup the alert

    The AI uses the Tenderly connection to register the specific conditions for the alert. This includes watching for specific method calls or state changes.

    create_alert

  3. Monitor the chain

    The AI stays connected to the blockchain state via Tenderly. It waits for the exact moment your specified event occurs.

    create_alert

  4. Deliver the signal

    Once the event hits, the AI processes the transaction data. It then notifies you through your preferred interface.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI execute transactions for me?

    No. The AI can only monitor events and set up alerts. It cannot sign or send transactions on the blockchain.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete alerts I made in the Tenderly dashboard?

    No. The AI only has the ability to create new alerts. It cannot modify or delete existing alerts in your Tenderly account.

  • 03

    Do I need to stay online to receive alerts?

    No. Once the AI sets up the alert via Tenderly, the monitoring happens on the backend.

  • 04

    Can I monitor multiple functions on the same contract?

    Yes. You can ask your AI to set up separate alerts for different method calls on a single contract address.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which contract to watch?

    The AI uses the contract address you provide in your prompt to target the specific monitoring task.
