Set Up Notifications & Alerts

Accessing Notification Settings

Notification settings can be tailored for each monitored area, allowing you to receive alerts only for the incidents that matter most to you.

For instance, during peak wildfire season, you may want to receive notifications for all new detections, while in quieter seasons, fewer notifications may suffice.

• Open the "Monitor" menu.
• Locate your monitored area in the list.
• Click on the "..." button. 
• Scroll down and select "Edit Notification Settings".
• Select your preferred channel by activating the toggle.
• Select on the Settings button to access the criteria meu

What Notifications Look Like

To help you better understand the kind of alerts you’ll receive, here are examples of notifications across different channels:

• Email: Contains a summary of the detected incident, including location, confidence level, and a direct link to view the event in the platform.

• WhatsApp & SMS: Compact format with key incident details and a clickable link (if supported by your device).

• Browser Push: Real-time alert banner in your browser with the incident type and area name.

• Webhook: JSON payload with full incident metadata sent to your configured endpoint (developer documentation available upon request).
