[DRAFT] Safe Email Alerts (Human readable)

Abstract

Multisig wallets exist to help groups coordinate transactions. Coordination works best when everyone has all the information they need. Right now, Safe wallets do not send email notifications, which is the most common way people stay informed. To fix this, we plan to build a Safe DeFi Alerts. It will watch on-chain events for each Safe wallet and instantly notify all multisig owners by email or webhook whenever important activity happens. Webhook notifications will also let users set up automations with other tools.

Safe’s current interface shows raw transaction data, which is confusing for less technical users. We will use AI to turn each proposed update into a clear, human-readable summary. This will make Safe easier to use and keep wallets more secure.

Proposal details

Managing a Safe wallet today means owners must constantly check the app or on-chain data for new proposals, configuration changes, and large fund movements. This manual process is slow, risks missed opportunities, and forces urgent signers to resort to calls or messages. Built‑in browser push only works when online and enabled. To solve this, our Safe DeFi Alerts service will watch each Safe address for key events and send email and webhook notifications as they happen.

Email Alerts

Below are some of the core alerts we will be adding

  • New Transaction: Email and webhook when a transaction is proposed.
  • Pending Reminder: Follow-up if signatures are late beyond a set interval.
  • Execution: Notification when a transaction executes.
  • Owner Change: Alert on owner additions, removals, or threshold updates.
  • Large Withdrawal: When outgoing transfers exceed a defined limit.
  • Incoming Funds: When deposits exceed a defined amount.

When we work on the technical details we will finalize the list of total 12 type of alerts and some of these can be module based alerts as well.

How It Works

  1. Enter your Safe address and supported chain(s).
  2. Choose alert types and set thresholds or reminder intervals.
  3. Select delivery channels: email, webhook, or both.
  4. Define how often you want repeat notifications.

Human-Readable Summaries

Right now, the transactions shown to users include raw JSON. This forces users to look up contract addresses and assets mentioned in each transaction.

The screenshots below illustrate swap transactions, and it becomes even harder to read details when transactions are batched.

To solve this, we will add around 10–15 formatters that cover the most common transaction types. Any less common or new transaction types will be formatted into human-readable summaries using AI.

Every alert will include:

  • The action (function name) and who initiated it.
  • Tokens moved and amounts.
  • Success or failure status.

This approach delivers faster decisions, stronger security, and a clear, readable history for all Safe participants.
