Trigger example: Send a notification showing who is signed in out of hours

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.

Your account must have the triggers add-on enabled to set up a trigger.

To set up a daily notification trigger, you need to configure the following details: 

1. Choose the time – enter when you'd like to activate the trigger.
2. Set up the rule – choose the parameters for activating the trigger. The below example is set up to send anytime there are more than 0 people signed in at the specified time.
3. Choose who receives the notification – select who in your organization needs to see this information.
