Workforce

[Rietz]

Hi,

Im wondering if there is a function within workforce that enables the possibility to send an email if the status of my workers still is "working"  after a certain time in the day.

Hi @Rietz, this is something I have been looking into recently. As far as I can tell there is not, but with the addition of scheduled notebooks in ArcGIS Online, could you check the underlying feature service on a regular basis using the Python or REST API and then automate the sending of an email to the worker?

If you have access to FME, just do it with that. I have many processes that send e-mails flagging new critical jobs added from other sources etc.

@Brady @Rietz We've recently updated online feature services to supported webhooks and this post from @Anonymous User details how to use it with Workforce - this may meet your needs:

Thank you, I will see if it is possible to make it work. The primary goal is to ensure that our workers return safely at the end of the work day. I want an automated email or text message if the status of the worker is still working at a certain time. @SHiiNZoN It might be that a spreadsheet and FME might be the simplest solution.
