Let Orah Do the Chasing: Setting Up Alerts

An alert that fires too late, goes to the wrong person, or triggers for the wrong reason isn't just unhelpful - it erodes trust in the system. Getting your alert configuration right means staff are notified automatically when it matters, and your team stops relying on manual follow-up to catch absences and safety concerns.

This session walks through how to build alert rules that actually match how your school operates.

Who should attend:

• Attendance Managers and Admins configuring automated notifications and follow-up workflows
• Assistant Principals or Division Heads responsible for absence follow-up and student safety oversight
• School operations staff who receive or act on attendance alerts

What we'll cover:

• Alert types in Orah: what triggers them and who receives them
• Configuring alert rules to match your school's specific workflows and thresholds
• Avoiding alert fatigue: setting up rules that are specific enough to be actionable
• How alerts connect to parent notifications and staff escalation workflows
