Explore FeatureHow Smart Notifications works
- 1
Set notification rules by severity and role
Decide what triggers an alert and who receives it, so a critical finding reaches a manager instantly while a routine item goes to a digest.
- 2
Choose the channel for each alert type
Map alerts to push, email, SMS, or in-app delivery, and let each user set their own preferences to avoid notification fatigue.
- 3
Alerts fire the moment something happens
When an inspection completes, an issue opens, or a deadline nears, the platform sends the alert to the right people without anyone chasing it.
- 4
Escalation kicks in if nobody acts
If an overdue item is not addressed, the alert escalates up the chain on a configured timeline, and every step is logged for the audit trail.
What this replaces
Before Inspectly360
- An inspector finishes a round and sends a photo of a hazard on WhatsApp.
- The message is seen or it is not, and there is no record that the manager was told.
- A week later someone asks whether the issue was fixed, and nobody is sure.
After Inspectly360
- A critical finding triggers an instant push and SMS alert to the named safety manager.
- Managers see every alert with a timestamped record of who was notified and when.
- If nobody acts, the alert escalates automatically up the chain until it is addressed.

Where teams use Smart Notifications
Critical Safety Alerts
When an inspector flags a critical safety hazard, the platform immediately notifies the site safety manager by push and SMS, the project manager by email, and opens an urgent issue ticket.
Overdue Inspection Escalation
If a scheduled inspection is not completed within four hours, the assigned inspector gets a reminder. After eight hours the supervisor is notified, and after twenty-four hours the regional manager is alerted.
Client Reporting Notifications
Facilities management companies configure alerts to property owners when inspections are completed, with the PDF report attached and a link to the live dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize which notifications I receive?
Yes. Each Inspectly360 user can configure their notification preferences by type, for example new findings, overdue items, or report ready, and by severity and channel, choosing between push, email, SMS, and in-app alerts. Managers can set organisational defaults so that critical alerts always follow company policy and reach the right people, while individuals can opt in or out of non-critical updates that do not concern them. This balance matters. Too many notifications and people start ignoring all of them, including the urgent ones. By letting routine items batch into a digest and keeping high-severity alerts immediate, the platform reduces noise without weakening safety coverage. The result is that important inspection and safety alerts are never missed because they were buried under low-priority updates.
Does the system support SMS notifications?
Yes. SMS notifications are available in Inspectly360 for critical alerts and escalations, such as a serious safety finding or an overdue corrective action. SMS is the right channel for these because field and on-call staff may not have the app open, and a text message reaches them even when they are away from their phone's notification centre. SMS delivery is available globally through a carrier network. In practice, teams reserve SMS for high-severity items and let routine updates go through push or email, which keeps text messages meaningful rather than constant. When a manager receives an SMS from Inspectly360, they know it is something that genuinely needs attention. Pairing SMS with escalation rules means a critical issue keeps reaching people through reliable channels until someone responds.
Can notifications trigger external workflows?
Yes. Inspectly360 webhooks send notification events to external systems, so an alert can do more than reach a person. It can start a workflow in Slack, Microsoft Teams, a CMMS, or any webhook-compatible platform. A completed inspection can post to a team channel automatically. An overdue finding can create a ticket in your service desk. A critical hazard can trigger a workflow in your maintenance system. This keeps inspection notifications connected to the tools your team already works in, rather than asking people to copy information between apps. Because the events fire in real time, the external system reflects what is happening on the ground without delay. For teams that prefer no-code, the same triggers are available through Zapier and Power Automate, so building these flows does not require a developer.
How do escalation chains work?
You define multi-level escalation rules with time thresholds. A typical chain reads: after two hours notify the supervisor, after four hours notify the manager, after eight hours notify the director. The rules are fully customisable by inspection type, severity, and site, so a critical safety finding escalates faster than a routine maintenance note. If the issue is acted on at any step, the escalation stops. If it is not, it keeps climbing until someone with authority responds. Every step is recorded, so there is a clear, timestamped history of who was notified and when. That record matters for accountability and for compliance, because it proves the organisation did not let a known issue sit unaddressed. Escalation chains turn a missed message into an impossible outcome: the alert simply will not go away until it is handled.
How quickly does a critical finding reach a manager?
A critical finding reaches the right manager within seconds. When an inspector marks an item as a critical safety hazard on the mobile app, severity-based routing sends an immediate alert without waiting for the rest of the inspection to finish or sync fully. The safety manager receives a push notification and an SMS, the project manager receives an email, and an urgent issue ticket is opened automatically. There is no delay while someone reads a report or forwards a message. This speed is the difference between a hazard being isolated before anyone is hurt and a problem being discovered after an incident. Because the alert is logged with a timestamp, the organisation also has proof that the finding was escalated immediately, which supports both internal accountability and regulatory expectations under frameworks such as OSHA and ISO 45001.
