Create your first alert rule

By the end of this guide you'll have an alert rule that triggers when a device enters a zone, with a webhook delivering notifications to your endpoint.

Prerequisites

• A device visible on the Blecon Track map (complete Track your first device on the map first)
• At least one zone configured in your workspace
• A webhook URL to receive alert notifications (you can use a test service like webhook.site to get started)

Step 1: Create a zone

1. Open Blecon Track and go to Zones.
2. Click Create Zone.
3. Draw a zone on the map or select the hotspots that define the zone.
4. Name the zone (e.g., "Loading Bay").
5. Click Save.

Step 2: Add a webhook channel

1. Go to Settings > Webhooks.
2. Click Add Webhook.
3. Enter your webhook URL.
4. Click Save.

Step 3: Create an alert rule

1. Go to Alert Rules and click Create Rule.
2. Select Geofence Entry as the rule type.
3. Choose the zone you created.
4. Set the severity to Medium.
5. Under Notifications, select your webhook channel.
6. Click Create.

Step 4: Trigger the alert

1. Move your device into the zone.
2. Within a few minutes, the system detects the entry and triggers the rule.
3. Check your webhook endpoint — you should see a notification with the device ID, zone, and timestamp.

You now have a working alert pipeline. Explore the other alert rule types to monitor return-to-base, dwell time, inactivity, and more.
