How do severity alerts work?
For each traffic trip you create, you are able to add a severity alert, which is sent to you when the trip’s current driving time has exceeded its typical driving time by a percentage that you define. When you create a severity alert, you select the time period and day during which you would like to be alerted to severe traffic conditions. You also select the method by which you would like to receive the alerts, via e-mail or text. For example, you may choose to receive an alert by e-mail whenever the driving time for your trip is 50% higher than the trip’s typical driving time between 4:00pm and 6:00pm on weekdays. If your driving time increases by 50% during this time, you will receive an e-mail letting you know this. If your driving time drops back below this threshold during your selected time period, you will receive another email informing you of this.
