Why didn’t my bot send an alert?

Have you ever found a match that seemed to meet your strategy’s criteria, but your bot didn’t send any alert?

On CornerPro, you can find out exactly which conditions prevented the notification from being sent, without having to check every criterion manually.

In this tutorial, we explain how to use the "Why no alert?" feature and how to adjust your strategy.

WHY MIGHT A BOT NOT SEND AN ALERT?

CornerPro bots work based on the conditions set by the user.

For an alert to be sent, the strategy’s mandatory criteria must be met within the configured conditions and time window.

For example, you might have a bot that requires:

• A minimum expected goals (xG) value;
• A certain number of dangerous attacks;
• A minimum number of shots on target;
• Live odds within the set limits;
• A specific range of minutes.

If one or more of these conditions are not met, the bot may not send the alert.

HOW TO FIND OUT WHY THERE WAS NO ALERT?

CornerPro offers a feature that lets you check the reasons why a bot did not generate a given alert.

To access it:

1. Open the Bots section on CornerPro.
2. Select the My Bots tab.
3. Find the bot you want to analyze.
4. Click the three-dot menu (⋮).
5. Select the "Why no alert?" option.

The system shows an analysis of the conditions that prevented the alert, so you can quickly identify the criteria that were not met.

HOW TO READ THE FAILED CRITERIA?

When you use this feature, you can see which conditions failed and compare the values required by your strategy with the values recorded in the match.

For example, imagine the system shows:

No alert because 6 of 8 conditions failed.

Among the criteria identified, you might find:

Expected goals in the last 15 minutes

• Minimum value required: 0.65
• Value recorded in the match: 0.60

Expected goals (xG)

• Minimum value required: 0.60
• Value recorded in the match: 0.41

In this example, the match did not reach the minimum values set for these two metrics.

The feature helps you understand the gap between what you required in your strategy and the indicators that actually occurred.

WHAT DOES BEING OUTSIDE THE TIME WINDOW MEAN?

Another possible reason for a missing alert is the range of minutes set in the bot.

Imagine you created a strategy to spot opportunities between minutes 60 and 75.

If the required conditions are only met after minute 75, the match will already be outside the configured time window.

That is why it is important to check not only the statistical values, but also the moment when the conditions were met.

HOW TO FIX OR ADJUST THE STRATEGY?

Once you have identified the criteria that failed, you can assess whether the parameters of your strategy need any adjustment.

To do this:

1. Go back to My Bots.
2. Select the bot you want to change.
3. Click Edit.
4. Review the configured criteria and time windows.
5. Save the changes once you have confirmed they make sense for your strategy.

For example, if you repeatedly find that the minimum xG threshold is too demanding for the type of matches you want to analyze, you can test a different value.

However, you should not lower the criteria just to receive more alerts, as this can reduce the quality of the matches identified.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CHANGE ONE CONDITION AT A TIME?

A good practice when optimizing bots is to change only one condition at a time.

This way, you can better understand the impact of each change on how the strategy works.

If you change the minimum xG, the dangerous attacks and the range of minutes at the same time, it becomes harder to tell which change was responsible for the results observed.

Ideally, you should analyze different matches and compare the bot’s behavior before and after each adjustment.

HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE TO IMPROVE YOUR BOTS?

The "Why no alert?" option is especially useful for understanding how your strategies work.

By analyzing the failed criteria, you can:

• Identify conditions that are too restrictive;
• Check whether the time windows are set correctly;
• Understand why certain matches did not generate alerts;
• Test adjustments in a more controlled way;
• Improve the consistency of the criteria you use.

The goal is not to make the bot send as many alerts as possible, but to make sure it identifies matches in line with the logic of your strategy.

WHERE TO FIND THIS FEATURE?

On CornerPro, go to Bots → My Bots, open the three-dot menu of the bot you want and select "Why no alert?".

Check the criteria shown, compare the required values with the match data and use that information to assess possible improvements.

Remember: an alert that was not sent can also give you important information to fine-tune your strategy.
