Techniques for providing missed arrival notifications
First Claim
1. A method for providing missed arrival notifications comprising:
- receiving, from a user associated with a client device, travel information that indicates at least an expected destination and an expected route to the expected destination;
tracking, on a notification system, the client device'"'"'s progress in traveling the expected route to the expected destination;
determining, on the notification system, whether the client device has deviated from the expected route to the expected destination; and
initiating, on the notification system, an alert escalation procedure in response to determining that the client device has deviated from the expected route to the expected destination, the alert procedure comprising;
a first alert level comprising transmitting an alert to the client device to request a response from the user, the first alert level occurring in response to initiating the alert escalation procedure, anda second alert level comprising transmitting one or more alerts to one or more third party systems, the second alert level occurring contingent on the user'"'"'s response to the alert transmitted to the client device during the first alert level.
