Draw a perimeter and get text alerts

A perimeter is a circle on the map. When the tracker enters or leaves it, you get a text message or a notification.

Steps

  1. On the tracker's card, click 🎯 Perimeters.
  2. Under New perimeter, choose Address or Business, search for the place and pick it from the list.
  3. Drag the green circle on the map to place it, or its handles to change its size. Check the Name and Radius, then click Create.
  4. To choose when it alerts you, click the circle, then ⚙️ Settings. Tick Alert on entry, Alert on exit or both, and click Save.
  5. For text alerts, click 📱 SMS at the top of the screen. Enter your Phone number and click Send code, then enter the 6-digit Code we text you and click Confirm.
  6. Check that the tracker's 🔔 is on. It's on the tracker's card and on its Perimeters page (🔔 Alerts on); tap it to turn that tracker's alerts on or off for you.

Good to know

  • You can also long-press or right-click the tracker's marker on the dashboard map to put a perimeter around it. In the iPhone and Android apps, long-press the map or tap Perimeter in the sheet.
  • For notifications, allow them when the app asks. In a browser, open 📋 My Profile and click Turn on alerts in this browser.
  • Under How alerts reach you on 📋 My Profile, choose Push only, Push, and text if I have no push set up, Push and text or Text only.
  • Text alerts go to confirmed US numbers. Standard messaging rates may apply.
  • To change a tracker's perimeters, you need to own it or have Settings access to it.
