# Quickstart

There are two ways to get real-time smart contract or wallet activity data with the [Dispatch](https://dispatch.esprezzo.io/) web app:

1. Select apps & alerting methods we natively support (email, Telegram, Discord)
2. Use webhooks — for other apps and services

Both require a Dispatch account and using the UI in a web browser to configure.

## Create your first Patch

All you need to start getting on-chain data from Dispatch is an account and at least one Patch.

{% endhint %}

A Patch consists of a Trigger event and a result Action (what you want to happen once the Trigger event occurs).

Once you have a Dispatch account, you can 

* Stream on-chain activity data to wherever you need it
* Get data and alerts for smart contract activity
* Get data and alerts for balance changes & balance threshold crossings
* Use balance changes, smart contract event emissions and function calls to trigger emails, Discord or Telegram messages, and custom workflows via webhook

### **Step 1: Log in**

[Log in](https://dispatch.esprezzo.io/login) to your Dispatch account. For the best experience we recommend using a computer rather than a mobile device.

### Step 2: Select a Trigger

Select a Trigger from the dropdown in the [Dashboard](https://dispatch.esprezzo.io/dashboard):

### Next: Configure Trigger & Action settings

Add details for your Trigger and Action.

Trigger details might include

* Address and network of the smart contract or wallet you want to analyze or manage
* Specific tokens, or smart contract events or functions&#x20;

Action details might include

* A webhook you want Dispatch to send data to
* The Discord server and channel you want Dispatch to post in
* A Telegram account, group, or channel

### Turn your Patch on and wait for data to start flowing :tada:&#x20;
