  2. Select your AlphaInsider API credentials.
  3. Choose Action Sub-Label = Websockets.
  4. Choose Action = Trigger.
  5. Enter channels (comma-separated or newline-separated).
  6. Activate the workflow.

Subscription Payload

{
  "event": "subscribe",
  "payload": {
    "channels": ["wsOrders:<STRATEGY_ID>"],

  }
}

  • In manual/test mode, lifecycle events are suppressed to avoid early completion.
