Trigger example: Get notified if a contractor has expired requirements

Set up a trigger to get notified when a contractor arrives on-site with an expired induction course, insurance policy, or certification. 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 multiple triggers available to help you manage your contractors, including sending notifications, displaying messages on kiosks, denying entry to a site, automatically signing people in/out, and more.

Some organizations require that contractors have a current certification, insurance policy, or have passed an induction course within a certain period. These requirements can be managed through triggers. When a contractor tries to sign in with an expired induction course, they're denied entry and a notification is sent to a nominated person outlying how they haven't met the organization's compliance requirements, 

The type of requirement is selected in the Trigger Rules tab during setup. Rules include:

  • Contractor - Induction Course has Expired
  • Contractor - Insurance Policy has Expired
  • Contractor - Certification has Expired

Send a notification when a contractor tries to sign in with an expired induction course 

In the example below, we show how to set up a trigger that fires when a contractor signs in with an expired induction. It will display a deny access notification on the kiosk and send an email to the employee hosting the contractor.

  1. Go to Locations, then select the location from the drop-down list.
  2. Select Triggers.
  3. Click Create a New Trigger.
