You can specify text for the following notification actions:
- notify by email;
- notify by SMS;
- display online notification in a pop-up window;
- send a command.
The notification text can be in any language and contain any characters.
You can add tags to the text. These are keywords which are converted to the values to which they correspond when the notification is triggered. For example, the text "%UNIT% violated speed limits and at %POS_TIME% it was moving at a speed of %SPEED% near '%LOCATION%'" is converted to "Rover119 violated speed limits and at 2022-05-01 12:01: 37 was moving at a speed of 156 km/h near the 'KU 8, Thurnau, DE'. To add a tag to the text, click on it or enter it manually.
A tag must be marked with a percent sign on both sides. Otherwise, it is considered as plain text and is not replaced by real values.
The units of measurement (kilometres or miles) used to decipher the tags depend on the settings of the resource to which the notification belongs. The date and time format is taken from the settings of the resource creator.
A set of tags which can be used in the text depends on the notification type. Below is a list of tags available for most notification types.
Tag | Description |

%UNIT% | The name of the unit. |
%CURR_TIME% | The current date and time. |
%LOCATION% | The location of the unit at the moment when the notification was triggered. |

%LOCATOR_LINK(60,T)% | Not applicable in the system. |
%ZONE_MIN% | The smallest of the geofences in which the unit was at the moment when the notification was triggered. The geofence name is displayed instead of the tag only if the geofence and the notification belong to the same resource. |
%ZONES_ALL% | All the geofences in which the unit was at the moment when the notification was triggered. |

Tag | Description |
---|---|
%ZONE% | The name of the geofence about which the notification is received. Used in the notifications about geofences. In the notification of the Outside geofence type, the tag %ZONE% is replaced by the names of the geofences in which the unit was at the moment of the previous message, but which it has already left. If there are no such geofences or the previous message with location data is not found, the notification text displays only the tag name (%ZONE%). |
%ZONE_DESC% | The description from the geofence properties. Used in the notifications about geofences. |
%SENSOR_NAME% | The name of the sensor that triggered the notification. Used with the notification types for which you can specify sensor masks. |
