The 6 am pre-start email

Each morning, the people running a site get one email with today's bookings, who the gate will refuse and why, what expires this week and open safety items.

The pre-start is a short morning email for each site, so the person opening the site knows before the first car arrives who'll be refused and why.

What's in it

  • Today's bookings with each person's predicted gate result.
  • Who'll be refused, and why.
  • What expires in the next 7 days.
  • The site's open safety items, with Site Safety Records on: overdue corrective actions, open incidents and inspections due.
  • One link to the site.

Who gets it

  • The site's Site manager.
  • On a builder's or business's account, also the project or site managers on the site's team, and gate users on the team who switch it on.
  • Other organisations: the site's manager or, when the site has none, your admins.

When it's sent

Around 6 am by the site's own clock (its state's time zone), once per site per day, only when there's something in it. It's never sent before 5 am or after noon site time. Closed sites get nothing.

Common questions

  • I didn't get one today. There was nothing in it, the site has no manager (then your admins get it), the site is closed, or you've switched the 6 am pre-start email off in Notifications.
  • Can I get it for every site? Join each site's team (on a builder's or business's account), or be its site manager.
  • How do I turn it on or off? In Notifications, under 6 am pre-start email. Gate users start with it off.
