# How to monitor off-chain voting pools

Want to always keep up to date with the Idle DAO Governance process? Be alerted when a new Snapshot pool opens? All Governance news is constantly shared on the official [Governance Forum](https://gov.idle.finance/), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/idlefinance), [Discord](https://discord.gg/j6QyJQu) (#Announcements), and [Telegram](https://t.me/idlefinance) channels. Don’t forget to turn on notifications!

In addition, for the off-chain voting polls held on [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/), the [Hal](https://www.hal.xyz/) platform allows users to receive personalized alerts whenever a new proposal is created, started, about to close, etc. 

The process is very straightforward. Follow this step-by-step tutorial:

1. Visit the Hal website at <https://www.hal.xyz/>&#x20;
2. Click on *Get Started* and sign in with your email&#x20;
3. Click on *Create Notification*
4. Select Snapshots in the Trigger drop-down menu and enter “Idle DAO” in the Snapshot Space search bar. Idle DAO has two Snapshots pages
   * [IDLE Snapshot page](https://snapshot.org/#/idlefinance.eth)
   * [stkIDLE Snapshot page](https://snapshot.org/#/staking.idlefinance.eth)
5. Flag the trigger events for which you want to be notified and choose the actions that better suit your needs (i.e. E-mail, Discord or Telegram notification)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.idle.finance/governance/idle-dao/governance-guides/how-to-monitor-off-chain-voting-pools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
