Alert example

See the signal received when checkout breaks.

These examples show the exact content of fictional CashFlowCanary alerts: short enough to act fast, precise enough to guide the team, without real customer data.

Email received

Example message sent to a monitoring team. Recipients and identifiers stay masked.

Subject

[CashFlowCanary] Checkout incident needs action — Demo store — Payment refused

Body

Incident opened at 09:14. Affected step: payment checkout. Verdict: action needed. Proof: the page responds, but finalisation fails. Next action: check payment method, checkout cache and latest WooCommerce change.

Included link

The message points to the cockpit and to filtered proof when the plan allows sharing. No customer email, detailed cart, card or raw payload is sent.

Telegram message received

A shorter format to alert the team immediately, while keeping the next action.

Message

CashFlowCanary — Checkout incident needs action. Demo store. Step: payment. Signal: finalisation impossible. Priority: high. Action: check active payment method, then rerun the check.

Why it is short

Telegram is for fast signal. Full diagnosis, proof and resolution stay in the cockpit or PDF depending on the plan.

Why it is filtered

The message contains no customer address, detailed cart, token, API key, card or sensitive screenshot.

Product anti-spam

One alert per failure, not background noise.

Once an incident alert has been sent, CashFlowCanary avoids repeating the same alert while checks remain red. A client can still trigger a manual action from the cockpit.

  • Incident opened: alert sent
  • Incident still red: no automatic duplicate
  • Back to green: resolution trace

What the alert proves

The alert does not claim to fix the store. It proves that a revenue step is broken, states the priority and gives the next verifiable action.

What is never in the public alert

  • No customer email, name, address, phone or detailed cart contents.
  • No secret: token, API key, webhook signature or cookie.
  • No payment, webhook or account is created by viewing this page.
