Choose where Ava reaches you, turn monitoring on or off, and know what pausing, turning off a permission and withdrawing each stop.
Ava errs toward signal, not noise — but the right balance depends on you. Here's what you can control today.
Alert settings in Telegram (/alerts) are coming soon. Today, you tune notifications in Ava Studio (app.avaprotocol.org):
Settings (/settings) — turn Email, Discord, Telegram or Slack notifications on or off
Running (/run) — turn Ava Guardian monitoring on or off
If you use Auto mode, these controls stop different things. Every Auto action — one-off actions and standing jobs (health-factor protection, recurring pay and swaps) — runs from a separate Ava smart wallet you fund, under an agent permission you signed.
| Action | What it stops | What it leaves | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pause a job (Running page) | That standing job, until you resume it | Its agent permission, and anything else that uses it | Vacation, or you want one job to stop now |
| Turn off a permission (Wallets → Edit permissions) | Every job and action that relied on that permission — Ava stops using it | Your other permissions. The permission stays installed until it's removed on-chain | You're done with a job, or want to change what Ava may do |
| Withdraw (Ava smart wallet) | What Auto can spend from that smart wallet — withdrawals always go back to your main wallet | Your jobs and permissions, still set up | You want your funds out of Auto's reach |
None of these are chat commands — chat can't pause jobs, turn off monitoring, or revoke agent permissions; Ava points you to the web. Turning off a permission then asks your main wallet to remove it on-chain — a normal transaction, so you pay gas. If that fails, or the permission is on another chain, use Finish on-chain removal. See Revoking Access.
In an emergency: turn off the permission on Wallets and pause jobs on Running, then withdraw what's free in your Ava smart wallet. Withdrawing alone doesn't stop jobs or turn off the permission.
You chat with Ava in Telegram. On the Settings page (/settings) in Ava Studio, you can turn each notification channel on or off: Email, Discord, Telegram and Slack. Health-factor protection summaries arrive by email.
