Notifications Configuration​

Email Configuration

There are two ways to configure email notifications:

Tips:

SSL configuration example:

<entry key='mail.smtp.host'>smtp.gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.port'>465</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.ssl.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.from'>gpsmonitor@gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.auth'>true</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.username'>gpsmonitor@gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.password'>password</entry>

STARTTLS configuration example:

<entry key='mail.smtp.host'>smtp.gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.port'>587</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.starttls.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.from'>gpsmonitor@gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.auth'>true</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.username'>gpsmonitor@gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.password'>password</entry>

Push ntifications are sent through the Firebase platform. There are two options for push notifications in GPS Tracking TR:

To receive notifications to the official Manager app from Google Play all you need to do is configure GPS Tracking TR with the following parameters:

<entry key='notificator.types'>traccar,...</entry>
<entry key='notificator.traccar.key'>TRACCAR_KEY</entry>

You can find your personal API key on the Account page. You need to be registered on the website.

To receive Firebase push notifications directly, you need a custom mobile app that is built with your Firebase keys. Server configuration for direct Firebase notifications should look like this:

<entry key='notificator.types'>firebase,...</entry>
<entry key='notificator.firebase.serviceAccount'>
  {
    "type": "service_account",
    ...
  }
</entry>

You can create a service account from your Firebase console and download the JSON from there as well.

Text notifications are delivered to the phone number in the user account settings. The user must have correctly configured the Phone field according to your SMS API provider requirements.

GPS Tracking TR supports a flexible format to work with many SMS API providers.

We also provide a mobile app SMS Gateway for Android. You can use it to send SMS directly from your own mobile phone without using an external service.

An example configuration to work with SMS Gateway app:

<entry key='notificator.types'>sms,...</entry>
<entry key='sms.http.url'>https://www.gpstracking.com.tr/sms/</entry>
<entry key='sms.http.authorization'>TOKEN</entry>
<entry key='sms.http.template'>
    {
        "to": "{phone}",
        "message": "{message}"
    }
</entry>

Telegram is a popular mobile messaging app. GPS Tracking TR supports Telegram as one option for delivering notifications.

You need to create a bot first. You can do it using BotFather contact in Telegram. It will provide you with a key.

Then you need to create a chat group with your bot and get the chat id. You can do it using the instructions here.

GPS Tracking TR configuration example for Telegram:

<entry key='notificator.types'>telegram,...</entry>
<entry key='notificator.telegram.key'>BOT_KEY</entry>
<entry key='notificator.telegram.chatId'>CHAT_ID</entry>

Chat id can also be configured per user. See user attributes in settings.

Web notifications are delivered directly to the web or mobile app when it’s open and connected to the server. It does not require any additional configuration and it’s enabled by default.

Web notifications are displayed as toasts and are also available in the events panel on the main screen:
