VAS PULSE Platform displays live smaXtec sensor data and alerts for each animal equipped with a bolus. And, to maintain consistent animal data between the VAS PULSE Platform and smaXtec Messenger, PULSE also sends animal events to smaXtec every 6 hours.

PULSE also pulls items requiring action into one of two smaXtec-specific worklists.

View the diagram below to learn more about the two-way data exchange between VAS PULSE Platform and smaXtec.

**IMPORTANT: **Your animal **Preferred Identifier** must match the ID item in PULSE to correctly identify your animals in the partner’s system. Either set your [Preferred Identifier](docId\:ebf1ybCLW5C8mV1iqJPji) to **ID** in [Settings](docId\:VQYTZMiFeM617-7Ci4I9i), or confirm that your selected identifier and ID item values match.
