A Door Open / Close alert tells you the moment a vehicle or cargo door opens or closes — for example an unexpected door-open while a load is in transit. It helps you spot tampering, theft and unplanned stops.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a door sensor?

Yes. This alert depends on a door sensor or input wired to the vehicle's GPS device. Without it there is no door state for the rule to read.

Where does the alert appear?

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