How to link an algorithm to a notification

In this article, we explain how to configure algorithms to work through notifications.

You will learn:

— how to link an algorithm to a notification so it triggers automatically when an event occurs

— how to create a notification with an algorithm for manual event generation

For an algorithm to start working and automatically respond to events, it must be linked to a notification.

To use this feature, the Notifications module must be enabled in the account.

Linking an algorithm to an event

When linked, the algorithm will trigger automatically when the conditions are met and the event will appear in the Control room.

1. In the top panel, click the Settings icon

and open Account settings

2. Go to the Notifications tab

3. Click

to create a new notification

4. Link an algorithm

1) In the notification settings window, click Algorithm binding

How to link an algorithm to a notification

2) Select the required algorithm from the list

3) Click the algorithm — its block diagram will open

5. Configure algorithm blocks

1) Double-click the required block

2) Enter the text and select event tags

3) Click OK

How to create a tag

Tags help quickly understand the nature of an event and visually highlight it in the list.

If the required tag does not exist:

1. Click

the Tag field

2. In the tags window, click

3. Enter the tag name and choose a color

4. Save — the tag will appear in the list and become available for selection

Configure the event processing form

You can customize how the event processing form looks for the operator.

1. In the algorithm binding window, click Settings

2. Click

to insert elements

Available settings:

Element type — the type of block (for example, plaintext for regular text)
Heading — block title
Text — information shown to the operator

Example:

1. Add a plaintext element

2. In Heading , enter: Event information

3. In Text, enter: Check the cargo temperature and contact the driver

To add a vehicle information block, click the vehicle icon. A new block with type vehicle will appear, where you can set the title and text.

To add a vehicle information

To add a driver information block, click the driver license icon. A new block with type driver will appear, where you can also define the title and text.

To add a driver information

After configuration, click OK — the operator will see the event form exactly in this layout.

Finalizing notification setup

1. In the Notification settings window, specify:

Notification name
Object
Notification type — Control room (GARM)

Notification type

Group
Notification conditions (for example, the Temperature parameter and its threshold)

2. Click Save

3. The notification with the linked algorithm will appear in the list and will be sent to the Control room when the conditions are met.

Algorithm for manual event generation

Manual event generation is used when an event does not occur automatically — for example, in emergency situations, for testing, or when an operator needs to record an event manually.

How to create a notification for manual generation

1. Open Account settings and go to the Notifications tab

2. Click
