How This Automation Works
Security job status changes to completed → Office team receives instant notification with job details
Security officer completes job in field
Security personnel finish their assigned task—patrol, incident response, guard duty, or other service—and mark the job as complete in the mobile app or management system. They may add notes, photos, incident details, or observations that need office attention.
System captures completion data
The automation detects the job status change and immediately extracts all relevant information including completion timestamp, officer details, location, job type, duration, and any attached documentation or notes from the field.
Notification routing determined
Based on predefined rules, the system determines which office personnel should receive the notification. Routing considers factors like job type, client account ownership, time of day, priority level, and whether any incidents were reported requiring immediate attention.
Formatted notifications sent
The system generates and sends notifications through designated channels—email for detailed records, SMS for urgent alerts, or team messaging platforms for collaborative response. Each notification is formatted to highlight the most relevant information for quick comprehension.
Office staff takes immediate action
Office personnel receive the notification and can immediately update client records, initiate billing processes, respond to any incident reports, verify service delivery against contracts, or escalate issues that require management attention—all without waiting for end-of-shift reports.
How It Works
Security operations require precise coordination between field teams and office staff. This automation instantly sends notifications to your office team when security personnel mark jobs as complete, eliminating communication delays and manual status updates. Whether it's patrol completion, incident response, or scheduled guard duties, your office receives immediate confirmation with relevant job details, timestamps, and any critical notes from the field. This real-time visibility enables faster client communication, accurate billing preparation, and improved operational oversight. The system captures completion data from your security management platform and automatically distributes formatted notifications to designated office personnel via their preferred channels—email, SMS, or team messaging apps. Office managers can immediately verify service delivery, update client records, and initiate follow-up actions without waiting for end-of-shift reports. The automation maintains a complete audit trail of all completion notifications, supporting compliance requirements and quality assurance processes.
The Trigger
The automation activates when a security officer marks a job, patrol, or assignment as complete in your security management system. This includes scheduled patrols, incident responses, access control tasks, alarm responses, and other security services. The trigger captures all relevant completion data including timestamp, location, officer details, and any incident notes or reports attached to the job.
The Action
The system immediately sends a formatted notification to designated office staff containing the completed job information. The notification includes job ID, service type, completion time, officer name, location details, duration, and any notes or photos from the field. Office personnel receive alerts through their preferred channels—email for detailed records, SMS for urgent completions, or team messaging platforms for collaborative response. The notification format is customizable to highlight priority information relevant to your operations.
