How capacity limits work
When you set a daily capacity limit, Envoy tracks your invites and visitors for the day and aggregates the numbers in a status bar on your dashboard. There are 4 different statuses based on the number of people expected and signed in.
Low capacity0-79% of capacity.Nearing capacity80-100% of capacityAt capacity100% capacity reachedOver capacity101%+ capacity reached
Capacity limit alerts
Any Front desk, Location, or Global admin can also approve or deny via the dashboard.
If you or another admin is not actively watching the Envoy dashboard you can assign an admin to get alerts when someone tries to sign in if capacity has been reached.
Different capacity limit notifications
