A notification topic is a group of recipients within your site. You can create your own notification topics to batch users who should receive specific notifications. These topics can then be inserted into your logged event templates to automatically trigger both emails and in-app notifications when those events occur.
​

1. Navigate to https://app.allotrac.io/ and log in to your Allotrac.io site

2. Click the "Configure" tab from the side menu

3. Click the "Notification Topics" button from the drop down

4. By default, you will already have several standard notification topics that we provide to you to help you get started

5. To create your own notification topic, click the "ADD NOTIFICATION TOPIC" button

6. Type in a "Name" for the topic (For example, you may want to create a topic for mechanic users to receive notifications when a driver fails a prestart checklist question)

7. Select which user groups you want to be assigned with this topic. You can have multiple groups selected if you need

8. Click the "Recipient Users" field and select the users you want to be in the topic

9. Click the "Email" checkbox if you want the users within the topic to receive email notifications

10. Click the "In-App" checkbox if you want the users within the topic to receive in-app notifications

11. Enter a description for the notification topic if required

12. Click the "SAVE" button to save your changes

You have just created a notification topic. Now that the topic has been created, it will be available to insert as the recipient group within logged event templates, to be notified when your custom events occur.
