Alerts are a scalable way to manage notifications across your teams, sites, and charge points. Instead of configuring alerts for each entity individually, you create alert groups — reusable templates that define which events trigger notifications, how urgent those notifications are, and who receives them.

Each alert group contains:

• Alert types — the specific events to monitor, such as charge point disconnections or security events.
• Settings per alert type — toggle each alert on or off, set priority, and assign recipients.

Note: Creating an alert group does not activate it. You must apply a group to a team or site for alerts to take effect.

When applied to:

• A team — the alert settings cover that team and all sites and charge points within it.
• A site — the alert settings cover all charge points at that site.

You can update hundreds of entities by editing just one group.

Default alert groups

Monta includes two default groups that cannot be deleted:

• Default — includes critical alerts: charge point received a critical security event, charge point in error for a while, charge point not working, charge point had 3 failing charges in the last 1 hour, invalid meter source for signed data.
• Muted — silences all notifications for selected teams or sites.

1. Go to Alert settings in Monta Hub.
2. Click + New.
3. Enter an Alert group name and description (editable later in the Info tab).
4. Click Create.
5. Customise the group:
   • Select which incidents to monitor (hover over each for a description). You can select multiple and edit them in bulk.
   • Using the action bar, you can:
     • Turn alerts on or off
     • Assign a priority: High, Medium, or Low
     • Add or remove recipients
6. Click Save.
