Learn how to set up a trigger to deny access to a pre-registered visitor when their host is off-site. You need the Triggers Manager user role to set up a trigger.
How it works
Triggers are used to automate actions based on sign in/out activity in MRI OnLocation. There are many different triggers available to help you manage people visiting your location, including sending notifications, displaying messages, denying access based on answers to custom questions, and more.
To set up the trigger, you need to configure the following details:
- Choose the event – select what the event is that will trigger the pop-up notification.
- Set up the rule – choose the parameters for activating the trigger. In this example, the host status is the rule.
- Choose what the action is – select the action that is triggered if the event and rule is met.
Your account must have the triggers add-on enabled to set up a trigger.
