Manage your own visitor arrival notifications and add others to receive a notification when you are selected as a host. Any employee can manage their arrival notifications.

About notifications

To receive a notification when a visitor or contractor selects you as a host on arrival, you must enable your visitor arrival notifications. You can also add up to two other employees and one non-employee to receive a notification when you're selected as a host.

Notification options are set up at the location level by administrators, if you do not see one of the sections, it will be turned off in the location settings.

If you enable mobile notifications and have OnLocation Mobile installed and activated, you will receive push notifications. Otherwise, you will receive SMS notifications.
