Example notifications

Types of notification

EVA Notifier covers the full flow of a visit, not just the arrival. You can get notifications for:

  • Pre‑registration – prepare hosts before guests set foot on site.
  • On arrival – customisable messages let you know your guest is here.
  • Checkout alerts – tell you that your guest has left and close the loop.
  • End‑of‑day reminders -  highlight anyone still checked in, strengthening safety routines.

When are backup notifications sent?

If an individual user:

  • Has not installed EVA Notifier in Teams
  • Has blocked the bot conversation in Teams

Then the notification will be sent via the backup method/s specified.
