At present, Genea VMS supports two methods of notifications for hosts:
Email notifications
Genea Mobile push notifications
1) Email notifications for the host:
You as a host will always receive email notifications in the events:
When a visitor is denied
When a visitor declines your invited visit
When a visitor declines to sign a mandatory document
When someone else cancels your planned visit.
Preference for setting up a visitor arrival notification can be done from your Genea mobile app.
2) Genea Mobile push notification:
iPhone App: If you are an iPhone user, you will need to permit the app for notifying you with different notifications.
While you log into your Genea mobile app, click on "Enable notifications" to be able to receive push messages from Genea.
Once you permit to receive the notification, Genea will always notify you via push messages about your visitors' denied status, when they decline your visit, when they refuse to sign the document or when admins/sub-admins cancel your visit.
If you do not enable it, host push messages will not be received.
