You can choose to add links to Trakopolis Map Location, Google Map Location or just to the alert itself in Trakopolis. This will be included in any delivery message you set in a few steps.

If you want to set a time parameter you can activate the "Day and Time limitations" to ensure you are only getting alerted of actions that happen in a specific window. If this is not selected, the alert send at any time it is activated.
