How to Notify Employees When Visitors Arrive

Host notification is useful when reception can see the result.

A visitor arrives, reception calls the employee, and the visitor waits. GateGuard turns that manual call into a connected notification and status flow.

Let visitors choose the host

The visitor selects who they came to meet, so the request goes to the right employee and stays connected to the record.

Send clear visitor details

The host should see the visitor name, company, purpose, and decision options when approval is enabled.

Update reception automatically

The decision should change the visitor status so reception knows whether to allow, reject, or ask the visitor to wait.
