Alert rules - email and SMS notifications
Get notified for geofence enter/exit, speeding, offline trackers, and ignition changes.
What you can be alerted about
- Geofence enter / exit - a vehicle crosses into or out of a zone you drew.
- Speeding - a vehicle exceeds a speed limit you set, in km/h.
- Tracker offline - a device stops reporting.
- Ignition on / off - for trackers that report ignition state.
- Vehicle moves - for a vehicle that's normally parked (a spare car, a trailer, equipment), any movement at all can be suspicious. This fires on any trip start, so it's best left off for a vehicle you drive regularly.
Creating a rule
From the Alert Rules page, choose what you want to be notified about, which vehicle it applies to (or "any vehicle"), and whether you want an email, a text message, or both. For a geofence rule, pick which geofence - or leave it as "any of your geofences".
For a speeding rule, the limit you set is pushed directly to your tracker, so the alert fires the moment it's crossed - there's no delay waiting for a separate check.
If the vehicle has a driver assigned
When SMS is on for a rule and the vehicle has a driver phone number set, the driver gets texted directly too - in their own wording ("You're speeding... please slow down"), not just whoever manages the account. See "Assigning a driver to a vehicle" for how to set one.
Turning a rule off
Disable a rule any time from the Alert Rules page without losing its settings - re-enable it later with one click.
