Enable Weather Delay Alerts for a User's Phone or Email

Objective

To enable weather delay alerts for a person's Procore user account using the Project level Directory tool. 

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions
• When a user triggers a weather delay alert in Site Diary tool, the system sends alert messages as follows:
  • For weather delay alerts by phone, the system dials the user's telephone number. Then, the following occurs:
    • If the user answers the call, a robotic voice alerts the user of the weather delay and identifies the project by name.
    • If the user declines the call, the system alerts the user of the weather delay by leaving a voice mail message.
    • If the user misses the call, the system alerts the user of the weather delay by leaving a voice mail message.
  • For weather delay alerts by email, the system sends an email message to the address on the user's record.
• The system does NOT send alerts to users when a weather delay is removed or cancelled from the Site Diary tool.
