# How to create Geofence from the app?
## Creating and Setting Up Geofencing
### Overview
Geofencing allows you to monitor a specific circular area on the map. This guide will walk you through the process of creating a geofence and setting up related notifications.
### Creating a Geofence Area
1. Navigate to the Geofencing section and select "Create Geofencing Area"
2. Set up the location:
* Enter the address for the geofence area
* The map will automatically update to show the specified location
3. Define the geofence circle:
* Drag the center marker to your desired location
* Use the radius marker to adjust the size of the geofence circle
* The circle will dynamically update as you adjust the radius
4. Save your geofence:
* Click the "Submit" button to begin monitoring the defined area
### Setting Up Notifications
To receive alerts for your geofence, you'll need to configure two additional settings:
#### Enable Geofencing Alerts
1. Go to Change Settings > Alert Settings
2. Locate and enable the Geofencing alert option
#### Configure Contact Information
1. Navigate to Settings
2. Select either:
* Add Email - to receive email notifications
* Add SMS - to receive text message alerts
### Important Notes
* Ensure both alert settings and contact information are properly configured to receive notifications
* You can modify the geofence area at any time by repeating the creation process
* The system will begin monitoring the area immediately after submission

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.matrack.io/gps-and-dashcam/readme/categories/phone-app/how-to-create-geofence-from-the-app.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
