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 Daily Log 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 canceled from the Daily Log tool.

Prerequisites

  • For alerts settings to take effect:
  • For a user to receive alerts:
    • They must have a valid email address recorded in the Project Directory. 
    • They must have a valid cellular telephone number recorded in the Project Directory. 
  • To trigger a weather delay alert:
    A weather delay must be added to the Weather Log in the Project level Daily Log tool. See Create Observed Weather Log Entries.
