Panic Button Alert

The Panic Button alert fires the instant a driver presses the vehicle's panic or SOS button, raising a "Panic alarm raised" event so your team can respond to a safety incident straight away. It is usually set to Critical priority.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a panic button installed?

Yes. This alert depends on a panic or SOS button wired to the vehicle's GPS device. Without that hardware there is no event for the rule to trigger on.

Where does the alert appear?

When it triggers, the alert shows in the Alerts Inbox and notifications go out on your chosen channels.
