How to Automate TradingView & Chartink Alerts to Your Broker

You've built a great scanner on Chartink or a clean setup on TradingView. But an alert is useless if you're not at your screen to act on it. Webhooks close that gap — turning every alert into a live broker order automatically. Here's how it works.

What is a webhook?

A webhook is simply a URL that receives a message when something happens. When TradingView or Chartink fires an alert, it can send that alert as a small data packet (a "POST request") to a webhook URL. A bridge tool listens on that URL, reads the alert, and places the corresponding order with your broker. No human in the loop.

The pieces you need

• An alert source — a TradingView alert (Pro plan and above support webhooks) or a Chartink scanner alert.
• A bridge — software that receives the webhook and converts it into a broker order (this is where Indikator's Webhook Automation comes in).
• A connected broker — Zerodha, Angel One, Upstox, Dhan or Fyers with API access enabled.

Step-by-step setup

1. Connect your broker

Link your broker via its official API from your Indikator dashboard. Your connection is secured and you can revoke access at your broker anytime.

2. Create the webhook

The bridge gives you a unique webhook URL and a message format (which symbol, buy/sell, quantity, order type).

3. Configure your alert

In TradingView, paste the webhook URL into the alert's "Webhook URL" field and set the alert message to the required format. In Chartink, point the scanner's webhook/alert to the same URL.

4. Map alert to order

Define what each alert should do — instrument, side, quantity, product type (MIS/NRML), and any stop-loss or target. This mapping is what turns "signal fired" into a precise order.

5. Test, then go live

Fire a test alert during market hours with the smallest quantity. Confirm the order arrives correctly, then scale up.

Common pitfalls

• Duplicate alerts — a repainting indicator can fire repeatedly. Use "once per bar close" alerts.
• Wrong symbol mapping — make sure the TradingView symbol maps to the correct broker tradingsymbol.
• No risk cap — always pair webhook entries with automated exits and a max-loss guard.

Do you need to code?

No. A no-code bridge handles the webhook, the mapping and the broker order for you. You configure it once and your alerts execute themselves from then on.
