18. Comms management

Keeping users and informants informed and update to date is important to keeping the system functioning and registration processed in a timely manner. SMS is currently supported to send notifications to users and informants. Planned for 1.4 we will introduce support for sending emails and WhatsApp messaged.

User notifications

Notifications can be sent to a user for various different reasons:

• Onboarding

• Username reminder

• Two factor authentication codes

• When a system admin reset a users password

• When a system admin sends a username reminder

Supported communication methods:

• SMS

Informant notifications

Notifications can be sent to the informant throughout the registration process to give them updates on progress.
