Once your travelers are added, keeping them safe and informed depends on how well you monitor their proximity to risk. With SEE, you can set up location-based alerts that trigger whenever an event happens near a traveler or group of travelers, based on custom rules.

Start with a Traveler View

Firstly, filter your map to show only the travelers you want to monitor:

  • Click Filter and choose Travelers

  • Filter by tag, location, status (e.g. Traveling), or any other field

  • You can also combine with filters like Event Category, Time, or Country

Once your filters are ready, save it as a View — this becomes the basis of your alert.


💡 User Tip: Use descriptive names like “Asia travelers – security alerts” or “All demo travelers – 10km” to keep views clear.


Create a Traveler Alert

  1. Open the Views panel and find your saved view

  2. Click the three dots ⋯ and select Create Alert

  3. Set the distance radius (e.g. 5km) around your travelers

  4. Adjust the delivery method: in-app, email, whatsapp, or sms

  5. Name your alert and click Save

The alert will now trigger for any event matching the criteria around the travelers in that view.

Share Alerts with your Teams

⚠️ Alerts won’t be visible to others by default.

To share:

  • Click the alert name, then the share icon.

  • Select users or tags (e.g. “Travel Security Team”) to give access.

  • Review your selections and save the changes.

Organize Alerts

Keeping your alerts organized is important for effective monitoring, especially if your traveler network grows. We recommend creating a Traveler Alerts folder to group related alerts, making it easier for your team to monitor and find them quickly.

Here are a few practical ways to structure your folders:

  • By region (e.g., Americas, EMEA)

  • By business unit (e.g,. Exec Travel, Sales Team)

  • By status (e.g., Demo, Active)

This makes it easier for other users to find and manage alerts over time.

Best Practices

  • Set realistic distances — 5 to 15km is a common standard, depending on risk type

  • Include clear names and descriptions in both views and alerts

  • Review active alerts regularly and remove old or irrelevant ones

🛡️ Traveler alerts are key to maintaining real-time awareness. By combining dynamic traveler profiles, location filters, and targeted alerts, you can detect potential risks early — and respond faster.
