Move from watching the map to managing by exception

Live location is powerful, but managers should not stare at a dashboard all day. Alerts let your team manage by exception — Hellotracks watches for the conditions you define, records every triggered event, and notifies the right channels instantly.

Alert Rules

Create alert rules without writing code

Build and maintain alert configurations from the dashboard. Define who an alert applies to, what triggers it, which places or zones are in scope, when it runs, and where notifications go.

  • Name the rule and set who it applies to
  • Choose a trigger from 9 supported conditions
  • Scope to a specific place or run anywhere
  • Limit by weekday and time window
  • Route to dashboard, email, Slack, or webhook

Check-in & Check-out

Know when workers arrive and leave

Trigger alerts when selected workers or teams check in or check out at a place. Use this for high-priority customers, sensitive locations, time-critical visits, deliveries, and service appointments where arrival and departure matter.

  • Alert when a technician arrives at a premium customer
  • Notify when a driver checks out from a depot
  • Record every arrival at a restricted location
  • Detect missing arrivals within a defined window
  • Detect incomplete departures at end of shift

Zone Alerts

Use geofences as operational triggers

Connect alerts to any geofenced zone. Trigger when workers enter or leave depots, customer properties, restricted areas, warehouses, or any custom operational boundary. Danger zone alerts flag entries that should stand out immediately.

  • Zone entry and zone exit triggers
  • Danger zone for high-sensitivity areas
  • Apply to individual members or entire teams
  • Scope by time window and active days
  • Route to any notification channel

Alerts Dashboard

Review every triggered alert

Every alert creates a record in the dashboard. Browse recent alerts in a structured table with date, time, type, and message. The rule list shows how often each rule has triggered, including the last 24 hours — so you can see which rules are active and which workflows need attention.

  • Structured table of all recent alerts
  • Filter by alert type, date, or member
  • Per-rule trigger counts including last 24 h
  • Highlight recently active rules
  • Operational record for compliance and review
