Notification Fired Alert

Adam Keenan edited this page May 16, 2026 · 1 revision

Notification Fired Alert

The Notification Fired alert hooks into RuneLite's notification system and fires whenever any plugin sends a system notification — even if you have that plugin's notifications turned off in its own settings. Common sources include the idle timer, low prayer warning, farming patch timers, and Tempoross.

Fields

Message Pattern

A glob or regex pattern matched against the text of the incoming notification.

  • Glob example: Your {*} is ready to harvest in {*} — captures the patch type and location
  • Glob example: *prayer*low* — catches the low prayer warning regardless of exact wording
  • Regex example: ^You have been idle.*$

Allow Watchdog Notifications

When unchecked (default), notifications sent by Watchdog's own Notification Event action are ignored. This prevents an accidental infinite loop where a Notification Event triggers a Notification Fired alert which fires another Notification Event.

Enable this only if you intentionally want Watchdog notifications to re-trigger this alert.

Message Picker (eyedropper icon)

Click the eyedropper to open a dropdown of notifications received during the current session. Click any entry to populate the message pattern field with that notification text. Edit as needed to add wildcards.


Capture Groups

Use {*} in glob patterns to capture parts of the notification message. Captured values are available as $1, $2, etc. in your actions.

Example:

  • Pattern: Your {*} is ready to harvest in {*}
  • TTS action message: Go harvest your $1 from $2

See Capture Groups for more.


Practical Examples

  • Farming patches: Your {*} is ready to harvest — use $1 in a TTS action to announce which patch.
  • Low prayer: *prayer*low* with a Screen Flash action.
  • Idle timer: You have been idle* with a Request Focus action followed by a Sound Effect.
  • Tempoross: *Tempoross* to catch any Tempoross-related notification from the Tempoross plugin.
