Site Record Notifications

Introduction to Site Record Notifications

Site Record Notifications provide timely alerts when a Site Record is due to expire, helping ensure compliance documents such as fire safety certificates and insurance stay current.

To manage Site Record Notifications, head to the Notifications page in the main menu, open the Sites tab, and click "Site Records".

Creating a Site Record Notification

Creating a notification for a Site Record is a simple process. Start the process by clicking Create Notification.

Selecting the Record Types

By default, notifications are set up for all Site Record Types. If you wish to set up a notification for a specific Record Type, untick 'This notification applies to all Record Types', and then you will be able to select an individual Record Type.

Setting the Notification Timing

Set the Period and Period Unit to choose when you would like to be notified about Records expiring. The following timing options are available:

• On the day – notifies you on the day the Record expires. (The number field is not used for this option.)
• Days before – notifies you the entered number of days before the expiry date.
• Weeks before – notifies you the entered number of weeks before the expiry date.
• Days after – notifies you the entered number of days after the expiry date.
• Weeks after – notifies you the entered number of weeks after the expiry date.

The Days after and Weeks after options let you chase up Site Records that have already expired, alongside the existing "before" reminders. For example, you could send one reminder 1 week before a Record expires, and another 3 days after it expires if it still hasn't been renewed.

Notification Email Content

This is where you can add additional information based on the notification. For example, you could add the details of what your organisation normally does when a Site Record is expiring.

Notification Recipients

Choose who should receive the notification:

Site Manager

Tick this option if you would like to notify the site's Site Manager.

User Groups

This enables you to select which User Groups you wish to be notified.

Users

This enables you to notify a user directly.

Notification Methods

Within Astalty

If this option is selected, the user will be notified within Astalty.

Email

If this option is selected, the user will be notified via email.

Finalising Your Notification

After entering all the relevant information, click Add Notification to save it.

Multiple Notifications

You can add multiple notifications with different timing options to build up a reminder schedule that suits your team.

For example, you may want to send a notification 1 week before a Record expires, and another one 3 days after it expires to chase up any Records that still haven't been renewed.
