4. Receive alerts
Once you have a verified WhatsApp number and at least one monitored account, alerts start flowing automatically. Here's what to expect.
What an alert looks like
When a monitored X account posts, you receive a WhatsApp message that looks like this:
WallaWhats
New post from @elonmusk
@elonmusk just published a new post on X:
"Launching something big tomorrow — stay tuned"
Tap below to view the full post on X.
[View on X]
Tapping View on X opens the original post in your browser or the X app.
How fast are alerts?
Typically 6 to 10 seconds from the post going live on X to the message arriving on your phone. This is usually faster than X's own push notifications.
Occasionally alerts may take up to a minute if:
- X's API is under heavy load
- WhatsApp is experiencing delivery delays
- Your phone has limited connectivity
How many alerts count against my quota?
Each WhatsApp message counts as one alert. If an account posts 50 times in a month, that's 50 alerts from your monthly quota.
Your quota resets on the first day of each month at 00:00 UTC.
| Plan | Alerts per month |
|---|---|
| Free | 2 |
| Pro | 50 |
| Pro+ | 250 |
| Business | 1,000 |
| Enterprise | 10,000 |
What happens when I hit my limit?
Alerts stop being sent until the next month or until you upgrade your plan. You'll still see missed tweets under Notification History with a Skipped (quota exhausted) status.
Retweets, replies, and quote tweets
- Original posts ✅ sent as alerts
- Retweets ✅ sent as alerts (marked as retweets)
- Replies ✅ sent as alerts
- Quote tweets ✅ sent as alerts
You can't currently filter out replies or retweets — you receive all activity from the monitored account.
Stopping alerts temporarily
To pause alerts without removing subscriptions:
- For a single account — go to Subscriptions and toggle Active off.
- For all accounts — go to Phone Numbers and delete your phone. Alerts stop immediately; re-verify the number when you're ready to resume.
