How to set up and configure notifications in Lobbytrack

This feature can be used to configure email, SMS and push notifications that can be triggered to the visitors, hosts, receptionists, and guards. You can enable and configure these notifications to go out when a new visit is scheduled, or when an existing visit record is modified. You can also use these notifications to go out when a visitor checks in/out, or when a visitor is denied entry. Please follow the steps listed below in order to enable and configure the notifications.

  6. While editing the email body, we can add the meeting fields like meeting date and time, location, etc. You can also add visitor and host fields like name, email address, organization, phone number, etc. When you add these elements in your email, it will add a token in the email content. These tokens will pull in the details directly from the meting record to ensure that you don't have to change the details like the recipient's name and meeting date and time every time the notification goes out. These tokens are used to automatically control the details within the email.
