Setting Up Visitor Invitation Form & Invitation Emails

The Visitors feature in FacilityBot allows tenants to invite visitors to their facility through the system. Facility Managers can configure an electronic Visitor Invitation Form to obtain visitor details for visitor management. When tenants make a visitor invitation request through FacilityBot, the form is shown to tenants to fill up.

When the invitation is submitted by the tenant, the system also automatically sends an invitation email to the invited visitor’s email address. If the visit is subsequently canceled by the tenant, a cancellation email is also sent.

Setting up the Visitor Invitation Form

  1. Log into FacilityBot.
  2. Open the “Settings” menu from the bottom left icons.
  3. Select “Visitors”, making sure to be on the “Invitation Form” tab. The form builder for the Invitation Form is shown. Different types of components (e.g., short answer questions, multiple-choice and single-choice questions) for modifying the invitation form are shown on the left, and a preview of the form is shown on the right.
  4. Click “+Add Question” on a component on the left to add it to the form preview on the right.
  5. Edit each added component in the form preview using the “pencil” icon(s) on the component.
  6. Toggle mandatory/non-mandatory status of each component in the form preview with the “asterisk” icon (see Note below).
  7. Remove un-needed components from the form preview using the “dustbin” icon on the component (see Note below).
  8. Click the “Save” button to save any changes. A confirmation message will be briefly shown at the top of the screen.

Note: Visitor Name, Email Address, and Arrival Time are mandatory for the visitor management system and cannot be made non-mandatory or deleted.
