+## What to expect from alerts
+
+If you've specified an email as the notification type, alert notification emails will come from Hiro Platform `<platform@hiro.so>`.
+
+If you've specified a webhook to send an alert to an API endpoint, then the alert payload will look like `sample-alert-payload.json` below.
+
+<Callout type="info">
+  Note that `tx_status` will always return a "pending" status for monitor alert notifications. This is because contract monitoring alerts will only send notifications when your custom notification alert on a particular function hits the mempool, but not when it gets confirmed in the blockchain.
+</Callout>
