How to Set a Member Check-In Alert

3 min read Updated 14 days ago

You can set an alert if you have a message that you want your staff to tell a specific member.
For example, the member may have items they need to collect from their locker.

You can choose;

Alert and Block Access

When the member checks in to your facility, the GateKeeper will deny them entry, their Pop-up will show in red and any door associated with this reader will not unlock. The Pop-up will also display the message to your staff.

Individual Alert and Block

To create a personalized alert and block access, use the Stop Member At Gate functionality.

To do this:

  • Navigate to the member profile and scroll to the bottom of the page
  • Under Membership Fob select Stop Member At Gate

  • When the member comes in, and the staff have passed on the message or resolved the issue with the member, it is time to remove the Stop Member At Gate task. To do this, navigate to the members Communication tab and select Complete Task. The member’s access will now be restored.

To set an Alert Only task, you will need to create a new Task Automation.

If you have other alerts for different members, go back to Step 6 and use the same Task Type with a different member and message. You can learn more about Tasks here
