Notifications
Real-time alerts for alarms, device events, and system updates
Sensorclouds has a real-time notification system that alerts you about important events as they happen.
Notification Sources
- Alarm events - when a device's telemetry crosses a threshold (triggered), and when it clears (resolved)
- Device events - device online / offline, device added / removed
- Application events - application created / deleted
- Firmware & OTA - OTA completed or failed
- Users & access - user added / removed
- System events - platform announcements and updates
This catalog mirrors the integration event types - the same events can be delivered in-app and to external connectors.
Read State & Preferences
- Read state is tracked per user - marking a notification read affects only you, not your teammates.
- Notification preferences let each user choose which categories they receive (configured in Your Profile).
- ENGINEER Engineers see notifications scoped to their assigned applications.
How Notifications Are Delivered
- The backend creates a notification record in the database
- A WebSocket message broadcasts to your browser session
- The bell icon badge in the navigation bar updates in real-time
- The notification appears in the dropdown and the Notification Center
