Notifications

Notifications come from two independent settings:

  1. What to subscribe to — which events on which object interest you. Configured on the object's page.
  2. Where to deliver them — the channels that carry all of your subscriptions. Configured once in account settings.

An event reaches you only when both conditions are met.

Vehicle subscriptions

Open the vehicle page → the Alert me about this vehicle block. The toggles:

EventExplanation
Geozone enterVehicle enters any zone
Geozone exitVehicle leaves any zone
Came onlineTracker reconnected
Went offlineTracker stopped reporting
StoppedVehicle came to a stop
Started movingA new trip started
OverspeedExceeded the speed limit
AlarmPanic / SOS signal
Destination reachedArrived at a set destination
New destination setA destination was assigned to the vehicle
Running lateForecast to reach a transit stop behind schedule

Subscriptions are personal: they apply to your account only and do not affect other users.

Geofence subscriptions

Open the geofence page → the Alert rules block. This is where you decide what the zone reports — entry, exit, overspeed inside, dwell time exceeded.

A zone subscription suits cases where the place matters more than the vehicle: "tell me about any entry into the depot" rather than "tell me when AB123CD enters anything".

Delivery channels

User menu → Account → Notifications. The section hint reads: "Choose how you get the alerts you subscribe to — select any that apply."

ChannelDescriptionWhat to configure
EmailSend alerts to your account emailNothing — your account address is used
TelegramMessage a Telegram chatA one-off bot connection, see below
WebIn-app notifications while signed inNothing
WebhookPOST a JSON payload to your URLThe receiver address

Channels combine freely — for instance, duplicating critical events to both Telegram and email.

Connecting Telegram

  1. Open Account → Notifications and tick the Telegram channel.
  2. Press Connect Telegram — a chat with the bot opens.
  3. Press Start in Telegram.
  4. Return to the system: you will see "Press Start in Telegram, then wait a moment…", after which the link establishes itself.

The chat identifier is captured automatically; there is nothing to type in by hand.

Disconnect breaks the link.

If you see "Telegram isn't configured on the server. Ask your administrator to set up the bot." the integration is not enabled in your installation — contact your administrator.

Webhook

When you choose the Webhook channel, supply a URL. The system sends a POST request with a JSON description of the event. Requirements for the receiver:

  • reachable over HTTPS;
  • responds within a reasonable time — a slow response counts as a failure;
  • handles retries idempotently: a redelivered event must not be processed twice.

The in-app notification centre

The web channel collects alerts into a list inside the application:

  • 5 unread — the unread counter;
  • Mark all read — mark everything as read;
  • All caught up — when nothing is unread;
  • "No notifications. Alerts about your fleet will appear here." — the empty state.

Push notifications

The mobile apps offer a Push notifications option. It delivers to the device while the app is closed.

How this relates to the event log

The Events log records everything regardless of subscriptions. Subscriptions only affect active delivery. So:

  • if an event never arrived by email but is present in the log, the problem is the subscription or the channel;
  • if the event is missing from the log too, it was never recorded, and the device or the geofence is what needs investigating.

Typical workflows

Control site access. Subscribe to the depot geofence (Alert rules → entry and exit) and enable the Web and Email channels.

Watch critical vehicles. On each such vehicle's page enable Alarm, Overspeed and Went offline; choose Telegram as the channel for speed of delivery.

Integrate with an external system. Enable Webhook, point it at your handler's URL and subscribe to the events you need — the system will forward them into your own records.
