Trace a failed answer through to the corrective job

A notification rule is useful when your team can explain what triggered it and see the result. Configure the specific event and answer, then verify the individual run.

  1. 1. Choose the event and condition

    Select the source, such as a submitted form or Request, and narrow the rule to the relevant result or status. Use conditions to avoid creating a job for every routine submission.

  2. 2. Choose the enabled action

    Use Alert / Notification for email or Create task for a task or work order. Check the recipient, assignee and due-date configuration before activation.

  3. 3. Test both sides of the rule

    Save as Draft while setting it up. Activate it for a controlled test and submit one matching and one non-matching result. Confirm the intended outcome in History and on the resulting record.

  4. 4. Investigate an exception in History

    Open the run and inspect each action status. Check the trigger, conditions and recipient details before retrying. If MapTrack has disabled the automation, use the displayed support path.

Setup and limits

  • These app automation notifications are email. Push and SMS notifications are available through MapTrack Telematics.
  • Automation execution requires a connection. The current app action picker does not enable new webhook actions.

Frequently asked questions

Automations can start from supported events on assets, assignments, audits, people and locations, or when a selected form is submitted. Matching Conditions are available for supported record sources. The exact events and fields depend on the source you choose.

Current enabled actions are Alert / Notification, which sends email to selected Person records with a valid email address, and Create task. Webhook is visible but is not currently available. The Create task action can create a task or work order and set details such as name, priority, due date, assignee and reviewer.

Yes. Where the selected source exposes a supported date field, an Admin can configure an action before or after that date and add a repeat interval. Scheduled runs are processed online by MapTrack.

An Admin can create, edit, activate and deactivate automations while connected to the internet. Other account members can open an automation detail page when their access allows it, but automation management is Admin-only.

Open the automation and select History. Each run shows its status, and the run detail shows the status and result of each action. Pending or scheduled runs can also be cancelled from the product.

Automation notifications are sent by email to the selected Person records. The recipient needs a usable email address for delivery.

If an email action fails, check that the selected Person record exists, isn't archived or deleted, and has a valid email address. Then review the failed action in History.

Yes. When a maintenance schedule has an assigned person, MapTrack emails them when a service falls due within 7 days. Overdue check-outs, audits and Requests can send reminder emails too.

Yes, in MapTrack Telematics. Geofences mark sites, depots and job areas, and assets with GPS trackers raise the entry and exit alerts you configure there.

Yes. Connect your AI dash cam account and MapTrack imports the cameras, shows their latest position and safety events, and estimates kilometres and drive hours from completed trips. AI dash cams show saved event clips in MapTrack, beside the vehicle’s pre-starts, servicing and costs.

Yes. GPS trackers are registered in MapTrack with their battery, signal and last report, and feed estimated run hours and kilometres into the meters that drive servicing. Live GPS tracking, trips, geofence entry and exit alerts and fuel use run in MapTrack Telematics, from the same vendor and account.
