Track responses and occupant safety with Envoy's automatically-updating message log.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Overview

The Envoy mobile Sent Log provides a detailed record of your emergency notification. It shows who received the message, when and how it was delivered, their onsite status, and whether recipients marked themselves as safe (if included).

This article will show you how to use the Envoy mobile sent log. Are you looking to learn how to send an emergency notification via mobile? Learn here!

Using the sent log

Once your emergency notification is sent, you will land on a page that details who successfully received your notice and who marked themselves as safe. You can also access the sent log from the app home page by tapping on Announcement > (#) Recipients.

The response tracker automatically updates to show the current response counts, and tapping on the ellipses provides a breakdown in list form.

By tapping on a recipient's name, you can view more details about their status.

The mobile sent log is view-only, but you can export the message sent log by using the web dashboard.

The sent log is broken up into five status categories, and you can tap each one to filter it as needed.

  1. Needs help

  2. Failed to reach

  3. Delivered

  4. Read (only available with Push notifications)

  5. Safe

You can also filter recipients by type (Visitor or Employee) by using the menu in the top left-hand corner.

Failure reasons

By tapping on the user's name, you can view the detailed status of each delivery type.

Onsite Status

It's easy to see who was onsite during an emergency by checking the Onsite status details on the recipient. This captures the presence information for both employees and visitors at the time of sending the notification. It will not update as time passes and real-time statuses change.

Onsite status does not show on non-emergency announcements.

Potential employee statuses include:

  • Invited: This employee has a workplace reservation but has not been checked in.

  • Checked in via Access Control (Kisi, Brivo, etc): This employee has badged into the workplace via an access control integration.

  • Checked in via Envoy Mobile: This employee has been detected by geolocation or manually checked in on the mobile app

  • Checked in via Dashboard: This employee has checked in using the web dashboard

  • Checked out: This employee had been in the workplace previously on this day, but has since checked out.

Potential visitor statuses include:

  • Invited: This visitor has an existing invitation, including invites that have not yet been approved. Learn more about invite approvals.

  • Checked in via dashboard: The visitor has been signed in via an admin on the web dashboard

  • Checked in via kiosk: The visitor has been signed in at the visitors kiosk.
