Alerts & Notifications Overview

Alerts are a core feature of the Tomorrow.io platform, designed to notify stakeholders when weather conditions require timely action.

When conditions defined in an insight rule are forecasted near a saved location, alerts are triggered and delivered to designated users or groups across multiple channels.

Permissions

• Alerts are managed by Admins (create, assign, and tag)
• Users must enable browser and OS-level permissions to receive notifications

Notification Channels

Each user can customize their preferred delivery channels via:

Profile Icon (Top Right) → User Settings → Notifications Tab

Supported channels include:

Note: Users may select either SMS or WhatsApp—not both.

Notification Preferences

Users can customize both delivery channels and alert types (e.g., weather alerts, reports, lightning), allowing for more tailored notifications.

Smart Alerting

• Alerts are triggered only on meaningful changes
• Notifications highlight what changed (timing, severity, cancellation)
• Admins can adjust sensitivity levels (High / Medium / Low)
• Critical alerts are always delivered
