Alerts allow you to set up powerful notifications based on different trigger conditions. You can use alerts to notify yourself and others by e-mail on important asset events.
Types of Alerts in Trackunit Manager
The following alerts are currently available in Trackunit Manager for traditional telematics (TU500/600/700) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)-tagged assets:
Logistics Logging Alert
Set up Logistics alerts to be notified when certain assets depart or arrive at a particular Site to track important deliveries across your fleet.
This alert will not create a critical event and no immediate actions will be needed. Instead, the alert will be recorded in the event log.

Site-based Theft Alert
Set up a Site-based Theft Alert to receive notifications when assets move outside a set Site (or geofence) boundary to prevent unauthorized use of assets or to prevent theft.
This alert will create a critical event on the attention list, the map, and event log to enable you to take immediate action.

Input Alert
Set up an Input Alert to be notified when the specified input turns on or off for any of your assets so you have an up-to-the-minute view of the operating status.
For this alert you choose to have the alert trigger a critical event on the attention list, the map, and event log, or you can choose to have the alert recorded in the event log without triggering a critical event.

Operational Alert
Get notified about machine insights such as your machine’s battery level, or DEF tank levels so you don’t have to spend time manually checking each machine. Available only on traditional telematics devices (for example, TU600)
For this alert you choose to have the alert trigger a critical event on the attention list, the map, and event log, or you can choose to have the alert recorded in the event log without triggering a critical event.

With the High Impact Alert you get notified when the g-force (G) of your asset has increased unexpectedly beyond the defined threshold that could potentially indicate if the asset is malfunctioning or that an accident has occurred.
For this alert you choose to have the alert trigger a critical event on the attention list, the map, and event log, or you can choose to have the alert recorded in the event log without triggering a critical event.

Telematics Device Alert
Keep an eye of the health of your telematics device with the Telematics Device Alert. Setup triggers based on GPS transmission, device battery, and more to ensure you don’t lose sight of your assets.
For this alert you choose to have the alert trigger a critical event on the attention list, the map, and event log, or you can choose to have the alert recorded in the event log without triggering a critical event.
Advanced Operational Alert
Advanced Operational Alert helps prioritize critical insights and bring severe Alerts to the forefront. These numerical-based alerts can be configured with custom trigger thresholds as some insights require multiple instances to confirm an issue. Available only on traditional telematics devices (for example, TU600).
For this alert you choose to have the alert trigger a critical event on the attention list, the map, and event log, or you can choose to have the alert recorded in the event log without triggering a critical event.
