Managing Access Notifications
This article covers how to configure and manage Access notifications, including initial setup, deactivation, and a breakdown of notification types and groups.
---------------------
What are Access notifications?
Access notifications allow administrators, hosts, permit approvers, and other user groups to receive automated, site-specific alerts based on real-time events (e.g., visitor sign-ins, denied entries, or flag triggers). These are configured on a site-by-site basis to keep your internal team informed.
Important Privacy Note: These alerts are strictly designed to notify internal users configured within this settings area. The system cannot automatically notify the individual visitor or contractor who has signed in onsite (such as sending an automated reminder to sign out). This restriction is in place for privacy compliance, as the system cannot send automated communications to external users without explicit prior consent.---------------------
