Alerts
A Telegram message when the games you follow change, when unreleased games in your niche climb the wishlist chart, or when a studio or publisher you follow announces something. Needs an account and a chat with the PlayRecon bot.

- Connect Telegram. The button opens the PlayRecon bot; press Start there and the page picks it up. Send a test message checks the chat, Disconnect removes it.
- Watchlist changes — releases and demos, updates and DLC, prices and sales, store page edits and Steam featuring the game, for every game on your watchlist. Tick the kinds and choose Notable or Major only.
- Wishlist risers — unreleased games that climbed Top Wishlists by at least ×1.5, ×2, ×3 or ×5 in 7 days, with the filters of the Wishlist risers page: tags, publishers, 18+ and the depth of the chart.
- Studio or publisher — Follow on a company page: a new game announced, the company showing up as a game’s publisher, a new signing.
- Where alerts are made. Alerts on the Watchlist, Alert me on Wishlist risers, Follow on studio and publisher pages, or Add an alert on this page. Every alert you set up is listed here, with an on/off switch, its delivery, the last message and Delete.
- Delivery. As it happens, or as a daily digest at the hour you choose. On the Free plan everything comes as a digest; instant delivery starts with Discover.
- A message holds up to 10 lines of “game: what happened” with links, then “and N more”. Recent messages at the bottom lists what was sent.
Worth knowing
- A new alert starts from what is already there: you are not sent the history, and the same change is sent once.
- How many alerts can run at once and how many messages arrive in 24 hours depends on the plan. Over the message limit the extra events are skipped, and a note says so.
