What can trigger an alert — only simple thresholds, or more complex conditions?

Both. A trigger can be as simple as "temperature below 38°F" for frost, or a more complex calculated formula combining multiple readings — whatever the condition actually requires to catch it early.

Where are alerts used across the platform?

Everywhere sensor data flows in. A few examples: frost-risk temperature alerts on the Agriculture platform, high/low tank and pond level alerts, valve and flow-fault alerts during irrigation, and real-time heat index alerts for field worker safety.

Alerts & Notifications

Know the moment
something needs attention

Q: Can alerts call me repeatedly until someone responds?

Yes. For conditions where a fast response matters, the system can call multiple recipients repeatedly until one acknowledges — so a critical alert doesn't sit unread in an inbox while a frost event or an equipment failure gets worse.

Q: Can multiple people receive the same alert?

Yes. You can add multiple recipients to a single alert rule, and track online which of them have confirmed receipt — useful when responsibility for a site is shared across a team or a reseller.

Q: Do I need the myRanch app to get alerts, or does it work over a regular call or text?

No app required. Alerts go out by standard email, SMS, or voice call, so they reach you the same way whether or not you have the app installed or a data connection at that moment.

Q: Can I write my own alert message?

Yes. Alert text is user-definable, so the message that goes out can say exactly what you need it to — which tank, which zone, what threshold was crossed — rather than a generic notification.

Early detection of problem conditions, with rules and recipients defined by you. Delivery is by email, text, or voice — and the system can call multiple recipients repeatedly until one acknowledges. Minutes can mean millions.
