Define hosts

Hosts are profiles that receive notifications whenever a guest checks in to see them.

Hosts can receive SMS notifications, email or both, depending on the Onboarding rules defined for them.
  1. If they have a mobile number, they will receive SMS.
  2. If they have an email address, they will receive an email.
  3. If they have both, they will receive both.
Hosts are defined through the use of labels. Every profile with the selected label(s) will be listed as available host for the defined group(s) at the moment of checking in.
  1. Hosts need to be profiles in Nirovision first, in order to be nominated as such. Hosts should also have an email address or mobile number in their profile metadata, as host notifications are emailed and SMS-based exclusively.
  2. Hosts are defined as part of Access Rules. Different groups of people can have different host options. One or multiple labels can be nominated as hosts.
  3. Host selection includes an "I don't know" option that notifies the Site Admin.

Set up Hosts

  1. On the Nirovision Web App 🖥️, navigate to Settings > Location (select the desired location from the drop-down) and look for the Access Rules tab.
  2. In the Access Rules tab, look for the group that you would like to enable hosts for and click Edit.
  3. A popup will appear, scroll all the way down to Host and click on the + button.       



4. Select which label you would like to define as the Host. All identities will that label will be displayed in the Host selection screen of check-ins.

5. Save when ready. The defined Host label(s) should appear in the access rule.
