Never miss a trade again: turn TradingView alerts into phone calls with Echobell

If you've ever watched a perfect setup slip by because you didn't see a notification in time, you're not alone. I wanted something I couldn't ignore when price hit my levels—so I turned my TradingView alerts into actual phone calls with Echobell. It takes a few minutes to wire up, and the peace of mind is worth it.

This guide shows how to connect TradingView to Echobell using a webhook, customize the voice content, and test it end to end.

Why phone call notifications for TradingView?

• Phone calls cut through focus modes and noise when seconds matter
• Echobell lets you choose priority (Normal, Time Sensitive, or Calling) per channel
• Templates turn raw data into a clear, human-friendly script you’ll hear on the call

Note: this article covers TradingView alerts to phone call notifications using Echobell’s webhook integration.

Prerequisites

• Echobell app installed and an account set up (App Store)
• TradingView account (webhooks typically require Pro/Pro+/Premium)

Step 1 — Create an Echobell channel (and enable Calling)

1. Open the Echobell app → Create Channel. Name it something like “TradingView Calls” and pick a color you’ll recognize at a glance.

2. Choose the notification type. For urgent alerts, select Calling. For less critical alerts, you can use Time Sensitive or Normal. See /docs/notification.

3. Customize the content under Templates (optional but recommended). Your call can literally say what happened. Pair it with TradingView variables you’ll send via webhook:

   Title: {{ticker}} crossed {{price}}

   Body: Signal: {{action}} at {{price}} on {{ticker}}

   More on variables and expressions: /docs/template

4. Copy your channel’s Webhook URL from the channel details. This is the address TradingView will call. Treat it like a secret. Details: /docs/webhook

Step 2 — Connect TradingView to Echobell

1. In TradingView, open your chart and create/edit an Alert.

2. Define the condition (price, indicator, strategy signal, etc.).

3. In the Notifications/Actions section, enable Webhook URL and paste your Echobell webhook from Step 1.

4. Craft the Message payload. Use JSON to pass dynamic values that Echobell can speak back to you via templates:

{
  "ticker": "{{ticker}}",
  "price": "{{close}}",
  "action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
  "externalLink": "https://www.tradingview.com/chart/"
}

Notes:

• Use TradingView’s variables (e.g., {{ticker}}, {{close}}).
• externalLink is optional: when included, Echobell shows a clickable link in the local record. See /docs/notification.

Step 3 — Test the full flow

Trigger the alert (or use a test). Within seconds, you should receive an Echobell phone call with your customized content. If you prefer a less intrusive alert, try Time Sensitive first and switch to Calling for truly urgent signals.

Troubleshooting

• No call? Make sure the channel notification type is set to Calling and the app has notification permission.
• 4xx error on the webhook in TradingView? Double‑check the exact Echobell webhook URL and that the channel token wasn’t rotated.
• Message variables not appearing? Confirm your JSON keys match your template variables exactly (case sensitive).
• Too many calls? Lower priority to Time Sensitive or refine your TradingView alert conditions.

Make it sing with templates

Templates let you turn data into a clear script you’ll hear during the call. A few ideas:

• Add context: {{ticker}} crossed {{price}} on 15m timeframe.
• Include direction: Action: {{action}}.
• Add a link for later review with externalLink (shown on your local record).
