A watchlist workflow is a series of activities associated with screening visitors who are invited to a site. These activities are performed by the system during the life cycle of a visit request if watchlists are enabled for the account. The activities can change the visit request state and properties, affect other entities in the system, or wait for a condition to become true.
The workflow helps automate screening visitors for persons or companies of interest during a self-service check-in or a self-registration, so that people involved in the review and approval process can focus on other tasks.
1 Visitor registration is only confirmed after screened visitors are not found in any block entry watchlists. Any visitors that are blocked do not receive a visit notification email.
