Hello again, Im Using the Balena Locating Project and I’m trying to send notifications via E-mail and SMS when a tag is not in range of the raspberry pi. I do not know where to modify or how to modify the program or if there is an option to just add it. ---

Hey again, Notifications are not something balenaLocating does at the moment. If you wanted to try and add alerting yourself, I think you have 2 options: 1. Use the [alerting](https://www.influxdata.com/blog/monitoring-alerting-in-influxdb-cloud-2-0/) functionality of Influx Cloud. 2. Add custom code to the dashboard service of balenaLocating Option 1 will not need any code writing. I’ve not tried it myself, but a quick glance at that blog post I linked makes it look simple enough. For option 2, since the dashboard service is written in .NET C#, I would probably use something like [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/v3-csharp-code-example/). If you do attempt this, let me know. It is probably functionality other people would enjoy. 🙂 Phil
