Automated Envoy Visitor Watchlist Alerts

The moment a visitor checks in, WebRun checks the name and company against your Envoy watchlist, pulls the matching Verkada entrance camera snapshot if there is a hit, and posts an immediate Slack alert to your security channel with the name, the reason they are on the watchlist, and the snapshot, so a person can decide what to do next.

In short

How do I get alerted the moment a watchlisted visitor checks in?

The moment a visitor checks in, WebRun checks their name against your Envoy watchlist, and on a match pulls the closest Verkada entrance camera snapshot and posts an immediate Slack alert to your security channel with the name, the reason, and the snapshot. It never denies entry or contacts anyone itself, leaving the decision to a trained person.

  • Security knows about a watchlist match before the visitor leaves the lobby
  • Every alert arrives with a snapshot instead of a name alone
  • No entry is ever denied automatically, a trained person always decides

Questions, answered

Does it deny the visitor entry itself?

No. WebRun never denies entry, blocks a badge, or contacts the visitor. It only alerts your security channel with the match so a trained person makes the call, the same as if a person spotted it manually.

Does it contact the police or building security on its own?

No. It posts to your internal Slack security channel only. Any decision to escalate further, including contacting authorities, is made and carried out by your team, never by WebRun.

Where does the watchlist come from?

Your existing Envoy visitor watchlist, the same list your front desk already manages. WebRun checks every new sign in against it. It does not add or remove anyone from the list itself.
