Notifications if a device loses communication to the Arduino Cloud

I am using an Arduino Nano 33 IoT. My question is, can I be notified when my device has lost communication with the cloud? I am trying to retrieve data and use it as a simple alarm device when one of the values I am reading is above or below the setpoint. A potential issue would be if the communication fell out, and I wouldn't receive any alarms. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Will you use another cloud app o monitor the first then notify you? Then will you need a 3rd cloud app to monitor the monitoring cloud app.
Seriously what you need is some sort of watchdog function. Have the app the device is talking to start a watch dog timer. Have the timer function periodically issue an 'im alive' message. Have an app on your phone notify you if it does not receive the 'im alive' msg.
