Why can’t I create a TradingView webhook alert?

Short answer

Confirm that webhook notifications are available for the account, enable two-factor authentication and enter a valid HTTPS endpoint. Plan access does not fix an invalid or unreachable webhook URL.

What you may be seeing

  • The Webhook URL field is unavailable
  • TradingView rejects the endpoint URL
  • The alert is created but no request reaches the server

Most likely causes

  1. The account is not eligible for webhook notifications
  2. Two-factor authentication is not enabled
  3. The endpoint, protocol or server response is invalid

Try this first

  1. Enable two-factor authentication
  2. Confirm current webhook eligibility for the account
  3. Use a valid public HTTPS endpoint
  4. Send a harmless test alert and inspect the alert log and server response

If that didn’t fix it

  1. Use email or app notifications while building the endpoint
  2. Test the receiver independently before connecting TradingView
  3. Use a secure relay that does not expose secrets in the alert message

Verify the fix

The alert log shows a webhook delivery attempt and the endpoint records one correctly authenticated test request.

Why this happens

Confirm that webhook notifications are available for the account, enable two-factor authentication and enter a valid HTTPS endpoint. Plan access does not fix an invalid or unreachable webhook URL.

Webhooks send an HTTP request when an alert triggers. Treat the endpoint as production infrastructure: do not place credentials in the alert body, validate requests on the server and test with a harmless payload.
