On-site alerts in EVA Check-in

On-site alerts in EVA Check-in allow you to send important notifications to visitors who are checked-in and currently on-site. 

Types of on-site alert

There are three main types of alerts for on-site visitors:

Ad-hoc alerts

• These alerts can be manually sent to visitors from the "Who is here" page, or in an evacuation.
• Ideal for immediate, important updates. 
• Set up saved alerts to be ready to go with an urgent message.
• SMS/push notification options only

Daily alerts

• Sent automatically to visitors when they check in each day.
• The alert includes a link to any on-site forms and info published to this site, so visitors have easy access to them throughout their visit. 

Are you still here? alerts

• These alerts remind visitors to check out, and help keep your check-in data clean and accurate.
• Specify a time-based trigger for these alerts (e.g. send after 10 hours on site)

Alert methods

On-site alerts can be delivered via:

• Email: Used for daily and Are you still here? alerts if the visitor has provided their email address.
• Push notification: Can be sent to mobile app users who have opted in for notifications.
• SMS: Available if a mobile number is provided. Note that SMS messages incur a cost per message sent. Keeping the message short helps keep it to one message.

You can specify a single or multiple methods, with and back-up options, eg - 

Note: Alerts should not be used for marketing.
