Manually tracking wallet balances in decentralized apps can mean missed alerts and failed transactions. In this guide, we’ll build a low-balance notifier that automatically sends a Telegram alert when a wallet’s native token balance falls below a chosen threshold using Kwala’s low-code automation platform. With Kwala, you can create event-driven workflows using simple YAML scripts, no backend servers required.

​
Objective

This guide helps you set up an automation that:
  • Monitors a wallet balance on the Polygon Amoy testnet.
  • Emits an event when the balance is below 0.1 POL.
  • Sends an instant Telegram alert to the user.

​
Prerequisites

Make sure you have:
  • A MetaMask wallet connected to the Polygon Amoy Testnet and Kwala network.
  • Remix IDE to deploy the Solidity smart contract.
  • A Telegram bot created via @BotFather.
  • Access to the Kwala Dashboard to set up the workflow.

​
Step 1: Build and deploy the Solidity smart contract

This Solidity contract checks user balances and emits an event when the balance drops below 0.1 POL. Solidity smart contract: 
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

/// @title Native POL balance checker (Polygon)
/// @notice Emits an event if a user's native POL balance is below 0.1 POL.
contract PolNativeBalanceChecker {
    // 1 POL == 1 ether in EVM units; 0.1 POL is 0.1 ether.
    uint256 public constant THRESHOLD = 0.1 ether;

    event LowPolBalance(address indexed user, uint256 balanceWei);

    /// @notice Read-only helper to get any address's native POL balance.
    function polBalanceOf(address user) public view returns (uint256) {
        return user.balance; // Wei
    }

    /// @notice Checks `user` balance and emits LowPolBalance if below 0.1 POL.
    /// @return balanceWei The user's current balance in wei.
    function checkAndWarn(address user) public returns (uint256 balanceWei) {
        balanceWei = user.balance;
        if (balanceWei < THRESHOLD) {
            emit LowPolBalance(user, balanceWei);
        }
    }

    /// @notice Convenience for the caller; checks your own balance and may emit.
    function checkMe() external returns (uint256) {
        return checkAndWarn(msg.sender);
    }
}
How it works The contract compares a user’s balance with the defined threshold. If the balance is below the threshold, it emits a LowPolBalance event: this event becomes the trigger for your Kwala workflow.
Deploy the contract using Remix and connect your MetaMask wallet to Polygon Amoy Testnet. You must have POL Faucet to deploy the smart contract.
After deployment, copy your deployed smart contract address from the Amoy Polygon explorer (https://amoy.polygonscan.com/) to inspect the contract and its transactions.

​
Step 2: Configure the Telegram bot

Before building the Kwala workflow, set up your Telegram bot:
  1. Open Telegram and search @BotFather.
  2. Run /newbot to create a bot and get a bot token.
  3. Use @userinfobot to obtain your chat ID.
Note both:
  • Bot token to access the HTTP API, for example, 7754368882:AAHS4KbbOkl5rEHoBBIR8eljgwq2PARYLyY
  • Chat ID, for example, 968602918
Use these credentials inside the workflow to send notifications later.
Test your bot token using an API tool like ReqBin or Postman with a POST request. If the token works, the test request will deliver a Telegram notification.

​
Step 3: Build the workflow in Kwala

  1. Navigate to your Kwala dashboard.
  2. Select “Create New Workflow”.
  3. Give your workflow a name. For example, LowBalanceNotifier1.

​
Workflow configuration

Triggers This is the event that activates your workflow.
  • Execute After: Set to event: executes the action after the event is emitted.
  • Repeat Every: event triggered by the event.
  • Expires: Add an expiration timestamp. For example, 17-09-2025 16:00 in IST.
  • ParameterValue: RecurringSource Contract: 0x1C5a23Fd1F7fEd9A5d020858BD4b93e5c93C92a8 the deployed smart contract address, available on Amoy Polygonscan.
  • Trigger Chain ID: 80002 Polygon Amoy Testnet
  • Recurring Event Name: LowPolBalance(address, uint256)
  • Event Filter: NA
  • Smart contract (optional): You can paste the Solidity code or upload the .sol file.
  • Recurring source contract ABI: Automatically fetched from the deployed contract.
Actions Next, configure the action - a Telegram notification that executes when the event occurs.
  • Action Name: for example, telegram_notifier
  • Action Type: POST API CALL
  • API Endpoint: https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT>/sendMessage
  • API Payload (JSON):
{
  "chat_id": 968602918,
  "text": "Low Balance! Recharge your wallet. Add 5 POL."
}
  • Retries Until Success: 5
  • Execution Mode: Sequential actions run in order
This workflow listens for the LowPolBalance event and triggers the action whenever it’s emitted.

​
Step 4: Add the YAML configuration

Below is the YAML script to use for your Kwala workflow. Save and compile this code in the Kwala dashboard.

Make sure you are in the Kwala network (not Polygon Amoy testnet) in MetaMask when creating/deploying this workflow.

​
Step 5: Create a polling workflow (Optional)

You can also create a polling workflow that calls the contract on a schedule. Workflow name: for example, Polling1 Trigger
  • Execute After: immediate — executes the action
  • Repeat Every: Time interval (actions repeat on a schedule)
  • Expires: for example, 17-09-2025 16:00 in IST
  • Recurring source value configurationInterval value: time interval you want (for example, 1 in unit Min/hour/days)
  • Action status Notification POST URL: add the workflow’s notification URL
Actions Add the action, a smart contract call.
  • Action Name: for example, Polling1
  • Action Type: CALL (Smart Contract)
  • Target Function: function checkAndWarn(address user)
  • Target Smart contract: 0x1C5a23Fd1F7fEd9A5d020858BD4b93e5c93C92a8 (deployed contract address)
  • Trigger Chain ID: 80002 (Polygon Amoy Testnet)
Request body example: 
{
  "chat_id": 968602918,
  "text": "Low Balance! Recharge your wallet. Add 5 POL."
}
Provide the wallet address that has Polygon Amoy testnet faucet tokens when calling the function.

    RetriesUntilSuccess: 5
Execution:

Save, compile, and deploy this workflow. Activate it and wait for the workflow status to show claimed.

​
How it works

The trigger monitors the LowPolBalance event, and when the event fires, the workflow sends a POST request to your Telegram bot API endpoint with a custom message. Within seconds, you’ll receive a Telegram message automatically. The second automated Kwala workflow (polling) runs every minute after checkAndWarn is called in Remix; it will trigger a notification each minute. Your Telegram will display: “LOW BALANCE! Recharge your wallet. Add 5 POL” repeatedly, every minute. The process runs automatically with no manual checks required.

​
Test the workflow

  1. Ensure your wallet balance is below 0.1 POL.
  2. In Remix, call checkAndWarn(address user).
  3. When the balance condition is met, the event is emitted, and Kwala’s nodes detect it.
  4. Kwala executes the Telegram notification instantly.
You’ll receive: “LOW BALANCE! Recharge your wallet. Add 5 POL.” every minute (as the polling workflow repeats).

​
Conclusion

In this guide, you built a real-time wallet balance notifier using Kwala’s low-code workflow automation. The notifier has no backend servers or infrastructure overhead; just a smart contract and a YAML configuration. Kwala empowers developers to create, automate, and scale on-chain logic effortlessly.
