[Event Management & Configuration](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#event-management-configuration) # Configuring Events ### What are Events? An Event is a set of predefined instructions designed to notify administrators and/or app users about specific activities. Events can only be applied at the group level. Events operate using a Trigger & Recipient logic: - Trigger – Records when a user’s device performs a specific action, such as moving from one country to another. - Recipient – Determines how the trigger is communicated, sending an Email and/or SMS to the relevant group. ### Configuring Events To configure Events, go to the Group & User Administration page and select the group you wish to configure. Once selected, click Edit at the top. In this example, we are adding events to New Group.  ![](https://support.vismo.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/21842455971868.png) The editor page for that group will then appear. Scroll down to Events and click Edit. ![](https://support.vismo.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360009315398.png) The Events editor page for that group will be displayed. Click New and choose the Event Type from the drop-down menu. ![](https://support.vismo.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360009754898.png) ### Event Notifications Once the Event has been created, you need to set up the action to notify specific groups. By configuring the recipient details, administrators can decide which group(s) receive which notifications. Select the Event you want to configure until it is highlighted in blue, then click Recipients. ![](https://support.vismo.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360009233097.png) The Recipient editor page will open. Click New to configure the notifications. ![](https://support.vismo.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360010893278.png) Click the Magnifying Glass and select the group from the list to receive the notifications. To enable SMS, Voice Call, and/or Email notifications, toggle the switches to On. To remove a recipient group, click the bin icon. Click Save to apply the changes.   - [Promoted Articles](https://support.vismo.com/promoted-articles?hsLang=en) - [User & System Management](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Training & Guides](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#training-guides) - [Event Management & Configuration](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#event-management-configuration) - [Portal Security & Account Management](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#portal-security-account-management) - [POI Layer Configuration & Management](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#poi-layer-configuration-management) - [Configuring Devices & iOS Location Settings](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#configuring-devices-ios-location-settings) - [User & Group Management](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#user-group-management) - [Managing Alerts & Points of Contact](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#managing-alerts-points-of-contact) - [Managing Reference Fields](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#managing-reference-fields) - [Managing Checkpoints](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#managing-checkpoints) - [Creating & Editing Geo-Fence Layers](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#creating-editing-geo-fence-layers) - [Assignment Management](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#assignment-management) - [Mass Notifications & Messaging Integration](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#mass-notifications-messaging-integration) - [Managing Permissions](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#managing-permissions) - [Incident Management & Coordination](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#incident-management-coordination) - [Check-In Setup & Reporting](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#check-in-setup-reporting) - [My Settings & Preferences](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#my-settings-preferences) - [Troubleshooting Access Issues](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#troubleshooting-access-issues) - [Integrations](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Location & Activity Monitoring](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Dashboard Management](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#dashboard-management) - [Searching on a Map Dashboard](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#searching-on-a-map-dashboard) - [Customising & Viewing the Map](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#customising-viewing-the-map) - [Geo-Fence Management & Map Display](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#geo-fence-management-map-display) - [Viewing & Filtering POIs on the Map](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#viewing-filtering-pois-on-the-map) - [Managing Dashboard Filters](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#managing-dashboard-filters) - [Managing Privacy Mode via the Portal](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#managing-privacy-mode-via-the-portal) - [Viewing Location History & Timelines](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#viewing-location-history-timelines) - [Adding & Configuring History Trails](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#adding-configuring-history-trails) - [Direct Messaging an App User](https://support.vismo.com/location-activity-monitoring?hsLang=en#direct-messaging-an-app-user) - [App Support & Configuration](https://support.vismo.com/app-support-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Vismo Locate & Protect App](https://support.vismo.com/app-support-configuration?hsLang=en#vismo-locate-protect-app) - [Android App Configuration](https://support.vismo.com/app-support-configuration?hsLang=en#android-app-configuration) - [Device Support & Configuration](https://support.vismo.com/device-support-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Iridium Extreme](https://support.vismo.com/device-support-configuration?hsLang=en#iridium-extreme) - [Inmarsat](https://support.vismo.com/device-support-configuration?hsLang=en#inmarsat) - [Vismo Alert 2.0](https://support.vismo.com/device-support-configuration?hsLang=en#vismo-alert-2-0) - [Terms Of Service](https://www.vismo.com/vismo-terms-and-conditions/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.vismo.com/vismos-privacy-statement/) - [Accreditations](https://www.vismo.com/company/about-vismo/) - [Contact Us](mailto:techsupport@vismo.com) - [Copyright © 2026 Vismo Ltd, Inc.
