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.

  3. Select the Alert History tab at the top of the page.

  4. Find the sensor that received the alert and click Plus iconCreate on its right-hand side. Create a sensor alert action via the web app.

  5. In the pop-up window, the action title should be prefilled in the format of "[Sensor alert] <sensor name> at <sensor location name> - <alert date>". For example, "[Sensor alert] Primary fridge at 72 Foveaux Street - 4 May 2022". You can edit the title and add a description to provide more action details.
