Limit - Chat Notifications

Get important Order Limit alerts, quota warnings and the monthly recap - delivered to your team's chat or inbox.

How it work

Chat Notifications sends you alerts about your store's block action quota and a monthly recap, so you find out before limits pause and you can act in time. You choose which alerts to receive and where to receive them. Alerts can go to one or several channels at the same time: Telegram, Slack, Discord, or Email.

You can find the feature in the Pareto - Order Limit app under Integration → Chat Notifications. Click Manage to open the settings.

Choose which notifications to receive

In Chat Notifications → Notification, tick the alerts you want, then click Save preferences:

Notification	When it is sent
50% block action quota used	Heads-up when half your monthly quota is used
80% block action quota used	Warning before quota runs out
Block action quota exhausted	Critical: limits are paused until reset
7 days over quota	Escalation if quota stays exhausted for 7 days
Monthly recap	Summary of last month

Connect a notification channel

In Notification channels, choose where alerts should be sent. Each connected channel shows a Connected badge with the account and the last tested time, and can be edited or disconnected. The header shows how many channels are connected (for example "3 of 4 channels").
