Create sensor alert actions

Learn how to create actions from sensor alerts on the web app and the mobile app.

What are sensor alerts actions?

It's important to know if something goes out of critical range. With SafetyCulture, you can set up alerts which create actions to automatically notify stakeholders if any assets that you are monitoring are not within ideal conditions.

Take note

  • There is no limit on the number of actions you can create, only one action can be associated or linked with a sensor alert at any time. These actions can always be accessed from both the actions list and the sensor alert list.

  • Sensor locations are separate from the sites used in other areas of the product, such as Inspections. The site for an action created from a sensor alert does not prefill.
